    Food is amazing. Vibe is chill. Best 90's hip hop music. Wait staff was anttentive and courteous. There is always a wait even with a reservation because no one wants to leave! So just keep in mind - don't go there in a rush!

    WOW!! I am soooo happy I picked this place to celebrate my 32nd wedding anniversary. I've been here a few times and loved it, but today, I was blown away by the food and service. Short rib ravioli is a must as an app. Pistachio martini was superb and by far the best drink. We had the pleasure of having Marc ( with a C) as our server and would love to have him every time. He was friendly, informative, and spot on with his recommendations. He made our night. Best server ever. EVER!! It says something when you not only loved the dining experience but the server was the BEST EVER. Wife had the branzino, and she loved it. I had the halibut w jasmine rice and green beans. I literally wanted to thank everyone involved for this dish. Totally loved it and will have it again TOMORROW. it's that good. Thank you 618 for making our 32nd wedding anniversary a memorable one. Thank you Marc. See you soon 😊. Bravo 618!!!
