   If a restaurant only has the option of prefix for $95 a person, not including drinks, they need to make that very clear when booking tables. We would have never paid $200 before drinks and tips and never booked this restaurant if we had known it was a prefix menu. Prefix is the laziest and most rip off thing a restaurant can do. Also, last I checked, Valentine’s Day is one day a year. Not a whole weekend. So saying on your website you have a valentine’s prefix menu doesn’t imply that that menu extends to the 15th. More than disappointed and we walked out. Plus, when we called and asked where to park they suggested the $30 lot above them. Which charged us $30 when we left 15 minutes later because they only allow a 10 minute grace period. Although the 10 minutes was still marked as $10 on their sign.

   Ian, we apologize for your disappointing experience at The Regular. While did run a Valentines Day menu through the weekend, we also offered all three menus (3 course, 5 course, and vegetarian alternative) featured items as a la carte options which accounted for 80% of our menu being available to order as usual. If you would have communicated your concerns with our wait staff, we would have been happy to work something out for you and your wife based on her vegetarian needs with the kitchen. Instead, you verbally berated our host staff in a completely disrespectful manner with a concerning level of anger. We do not own the parking garage above or have any control of the rates, it was simply an option to park there. You are always able to park on the ample street parking for a lesser rate.

   Way over priced. Paid over 300$ for a three course meal and two drinks. The first course was six oysters, the second course was three singular scallops, and the final course was a mini chocolate dome. Took over three hours for the whole experience and only got checked up on twice throughout the whole time we were there. The ambiance was nice but not worth what we paid given the service and amount of food/drink.

   The food on the fixed 5 course menu for Valentine’s Day was absolutely amazing. Very well done. We had a nice bottle of White Rioja and it paired nicely. Craft cocktails were also excellent. Service was probably the only thing that needs improvement. New wait staff weren’t familiar with courses, and the timing was a bit off. Still super friendly!

   For the price we paid I would expect more food. There were three options tonight, which was not communicated in the reservation. We were expecting to walk in for Happy Hour and instead had to choose between a $99 meal, a $125 meal, or ala carte add ons. We decided to splurge since we were there anyways and got the 5-course meal. We observed the portion sizes of the 3-course meal and realized we had made a mistake. The first course was two bites. The second: 4. The third: 2. The main course was mostly potatoes. The dessert was the only portion remotely close to what I’d expect. We paid $28 for the duck add on and got two small strips. $28 dollars is the price of an entree! The food was good, but it was hard to leave happy when we paid far more than we expected and left hungry.

   The Regular, never disappoints. Their mussels are a must get. The cauliflower too. Oh, and the pasta!

   Great food and pleasant staff. We really enjoyed our evening here. My wife is from Peru and they had some great Peruvian style ceviche that we had been missing.

    The good: beautiful restaurant with a lovely ambience. Food was delicious- creative and fresh. Generous portions (special shout out to the short rib!) and love the Peruvian influences on the menu. Drinks were really great too. The bad: we had a pretty ridiculously sub-par service experience. Were asked at the hostess stand if we had a curtain time (we did) and so they offered us the prix fixe. Seemed like a good start but went downhill from there. Poorly timed on all fronts. We were left waiting to order until we finally flagged down another server, then the order came out in the wrong order, an item arrived as a substitution that we weren’t aware of, and in the end, we didn’t have enough time to have the dessert included on the prix fixe. There was very little in the service department - no check-ins, felt like we had to chase down folks for drinks, silverware, and ordering. And they automatically charge 20% for service. Super disappointing for what could be a wonderful restaurant experience - which it should be, for the price. Overall, lackluster experience but feel hopeful they figure out the service - high potential.
