11/2025 - Drinks – 1/5: Not impressed with the Old Fashioned, and the Secrets cocktail tasted way too sweet and artificial for my liking. I wouldn’t come here just for the drinks.
Food – 3/5: The calamari and mac and cheese were pretty good, but the salmon didn’t measure up. On the bright side, portions were big and the food looked great.
Atmosphere & Service – 5/5: Loved the chic and welcoming vibe. Staff was super friendly and our food came out fast. Good spot for a quiet dinner if you’re short on options.
Heads up: The menu at the restaurant didn’t match what was posted online, and no one told us about happy hour even though we arrived at 5pm.

Very fancy and expensive restaurant! However, note that they do NOT serve Baked Alaska anymore even though it is there on their menu online which needs to be updated. People were nice and very nice interior. The Make A Wish Sundae was big and was delicious with the brownies and ice cream definitely tasting better than any grocery store ice cream I usually get.

The experience was just ok. I saw a bug on my table. I expected better from this place. As I had been many times before.

I was tasked with finding a spot for my group of 10 friends. I was hesitant about such a nice place, but it was perfect. The shared plates, like the massive platter of seafood and the indulgent billionaire fried rice, fostered a fun, communal atmosphere. The noise level absorbed our laughter without disturbing others. We also absolutely loved Rio!! Amazing service.

Excellent wine list. Bachir gave us a perfect recommendation. His service is note worthy as well, not many still who hold such professionalism.

The cowboy ribeye is massive and cooked perfectly. Great cocktails and even better service from Tamara, If she's at the bar I would highly recommend her.

Had a great time, portions are small, but overall experience was lovely. The service made up for the small plates.

Our food was excellent, and the service was even better. George took the best care of us, as always! You must try the chicken parm, the short ribs, and you can't go without sharing a cookie butter tres leches cake - by far the best dessert in town.

I ordered the pan seared salmon. It came out extremely dry and overcooked the salmon and the potatoes. I sent it back to the kitchen and was able to re-order and the second dish came out great when it was time for the bill. I was over charged by 40 dollars not including gratitude

Monique

Excellent food with impeccable customer service. We will be back! Dessert portions are HUGE! Good for sharing.

Both dinners for my wife and I were not very good. My short rib literally had no taste, and my wife's Chilean sea bass was overcooked. For the prices, the food should be much better.

Came here for the first time for my anniversary and it was amazing great food great service great atmosphere the waiter paid attention to everything from being cautious about my shellfish allergy to knowing that we can't have alcohol so he recommended many different drinks will definitely be coming back

Started out intrigued and excited. Restaurant reached out to us because they noted open table suggested our anniversary was approaching and had we considered to dine here. We hadn't but thought why not since the restaurant took initiative be it automated or not. Valet was fine. Sitting down was normal. After we sat down, we noticed the floor next to us still had food remnants from prior sitting. Then people came and sat there. No cleaning or picking up. The bench against the wall on which my wife sat had ripped seating surfaces. Pics available for both. Sea bass appetizer was very nice. Mains were also good. But not for the pricing. Server seemed to have a lot of tables. Not planning to go back.
