Had the most amazing dinner at Annabelle last month. The dishes were truly exceptional, and the service was somehow even better! The dinning room was gorgeous and the overall guess experience was top tier from Dina and Alison. I definitely recommend starting with the crudo. Chef Jordan, Chef Michael, and Chef Bella really know what they are doing!!! The whole team at Annabelle works really hard and it shows. Love this place!!!

We have been to Annabelle on multiple occasions and love the creativity and variety each time we go! Everything from the drinks to the dessert are well crafted and incorporate whatever ingredients are fresh, local, and in-season! Looking forward to the next time dining at Annabelle!

Annabelle provided one of thee BEST restaurant experiences I’ve ever had!

The feng shui was pure perfection! We were seated in one of their private rooms and it felt like we were in a literal greenhouse. The air was so fresh and the natural light made the atmosphere feel like a movie! The gold accents and pops of color were so pleasing to the eye in the main dining area as well!

The staff was attentive and informative. They welcomed us with smiles and insight regarding the menu! They were so polite!

I want to give a HUGE shoutout to the restaurant Manager Dina and our waitstaff Arin! The took good care of us! When I say I LOVE them! I mean it. They made us feel like we were the only guest and more over they made us feel like more than just dining guest! Dina and Arin are perfect examples of what 5 Star customer service looks/feels like!

The food was nothing short of extraordinary! The oysters were ridiculously fresh and slightly sweet. The mignonette and lemon were a perfect pairing.

We also had the Braised Pork Belly and the Roasted Leaks! The pork belly was seasoned so well and the hosin ju was a match I never knew I needed! The leaks we new for me and they were DELICIOUS! They melted in my mouth. I could’ve eaten 10 more LOL!!

Our cocktails were also good, it tasted like they were made with fresh ingredients. I could taste how fresh the basil and mint was in my Mojito. My friend got a Mezcal Paloma and you can tell it was a fresh squeezed grapefruit, they smoke flavor wasn’t overpowering. Light but deliberate. Extremely well crafted cocktails!

For our entrees we got the Branzino with watercress salad and King Salmon with roasted fennel! The branzio was cooked to perfection! The watercress salad was light but the flavor palette was excellent! The king salmon was tender and moist! Paired with the rusted fennel, grape tomatoes and sauce vierge, I felt like I was on a cloud! Everything was SO good!

To finish it off we had the Vanilla Bean Peach Cheesecake and the Lemon Blueberry Poppyseed Cake. The cheesecake was by far the creamiest cheesecake I’ve ever had an I don’t even like cheesecake! It was a great balance. The lemon blueberry poppyseed cake had the right amount citrus and blueberry. They poppyseed brought a great texture!

Literally EVERYTHING I ate was amazing!

I definitely plan on going back and recommending to everyone I know!

Thanks for an amazing experience Annabelle 💋

Went for United Airlines special hosted event. All 3 courses were mid. Definitely not James Beard level.

Excellent service, and even better food! Great for a date night or a special occasion, and the wait staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I could not more highly recommend this restaurant, 11/10!

Great menu, delicious food… server was very sweet but I think he was brand new and nervous so he didn’t have a lot of very simple answers; however, I noticed managers/other staff comin over to talk to us as well as a support for him. Giving everything a 5/5 and I hope the server continues to learn and get confident bc he was great (even though I’m blanking on his name). BTW: DONT SKIP OUT ON DESSERT!

Wellll - $42 chicken cordon bleu on the menu, did not meet expectations, which led to me reassessing this place. I have been here multiple times when I was in the area. The first time the waitress was a little bit rude - but the food was spectacular (watercress/lobster soup changed my opinion of watercress), however this latest time the chicken entree was tougher than the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force , and the taste was outshined by a Sam's club Chicken with Oscar Meyer Lunchble ham stuffed in the middle. The only saving grace was the service staff this visit was light, fun, casual. Not uptight like the first visit. That's was the saving grace. If we can get some consistency with the service and the food - and let the atmosphere continue to saturate us - we will be in a much better position and worthy of recommendations.

With some attention, it could be stellar - an actual gem but for now - Don't be the farm on this place to impress your date.

It has been one year since we ate here. And sadly, it feels like everything has declined.

Certainly, the servers were plentiful and attentive.

But honestly, our main courses were incredibly disappointing. Yes, chicken. Cordon Bleu is a staple for decades. And this one felt like it came out of the freezer.

The black cod is usually rich and sumptuous, but this was slightly undercooked and flavorless

The oysters were sublime. The Parisian gnocchi was truly delicious.

Sadly, we had a very noisy table of four near us that made as much noise as if they were in a sports bar. ( once they left it was blessedly quiet)

A year ago we hosted a huge birthday party here and everything for over 30 people was simply sublime…..maybe last night was an off night for the kitchen….it was our loss

Sat at the bar-had great service from all team members. Greeted promptly with a friendly hostess, guided to the bar and had a stellar meal, a few beverages and an engaging experience with the bar team. Everyone was courteous and experienced. Food, beverage and ambience top notch!

Love this place and always has really great food. We were sat in the garden room which has a great atmosphere with full skylights and hanging plants. Really nice date spot. Reservations are highly encouraged.
