Our visit today was outstanding. Our server Joe & trainee Dennis were absolutely amazing, super knowledgeable about the menu and incredibly friendly. They made us feel so comfortable and SPOILED. We told them we were celebrating our engagement, and they brought us a drink with “she said yes” written in coco powder on top, glasses of champagne and a dessert with a sparkler in it. They made us feel so special and celebrated. Couldn’t have picked a better place to go for such a special occasion. The food, drinks, service and ambiance were spectacular as always!

We enjoyed a beautiful birthday dinner at 618. It was a Thursday evening and the restaurant was very busy. We received a warm greeting & were promptly seated. Our server, Angelina, was attentive & very pleasant. We ordered a variety of dishes & everything was delicious. We will gladly return.

Sage is a fantastic waitress. When she spoke with us, she made sure she made eye contact with each of us. Yet she also gave us the space to enjoy our date night. While also checking in at just the right times Sage made a great night that much more enjoyable!
