I apologize for not writing this review earlier, but I did have the complete honor and privilege to Dine here this past Sunday, March 3, 2024. From start to finish it was perfect. I am in the Restaurant business and have been for the past 35 years. To be quite honest it is really hard for any establishment to float my boat, especially in this day and age. As Server Jamal was phenomenal, very professional, and understanding. I arrived with a Guest a bit late for a Sunday evening and still was treated like royalty. The Chef even came out to adhere to some requests which I found simply unparalleled. From start to finish it was an epic journey of culinary perfection and straight-out perfect Hospitality. I definitely would recommend Aperitif to anyone who needs a break from the ordinary run-of-the-mill dining experiences. Thank you Jamal and Staff, Michael

Favorite place for date night. Food is always great and waitstaff is just the right amount of attentive without being disruptive. Parking can be tricky during the weekend but they typically have valet.

It was outstanding right from the start. They seated us right away in a perfect area. The waiter came right out to greet us. They brought us water and bread. It was a very delightful experience. The waiter was outstanding. The food was exceptional, and we highly recommend the restaurant.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Aperitif Bistro! The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that our every need was met. I want to point out specifically Pierro, (I hope I spelled that correctly) he was very helpful as we had an unusual request at the start of our dinner. We told him that we wanted our meal to be a surprise and to bring out whatever he wanted to have made for us. He delivered perfectly. The food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. We were started off with the shrimp and avocado tower and a braised lamb over risotto. Both were amazing and my wife fell in love with the tower. For the entrée we were brought out pistachio crusted lamb chops and a fish dish that I can't remember exactly what was in it because the wife had that. For dessert we had Nutella crepes with a scoop of what tasted like a banana ice-cream that was excellent. Everything was cooked to perfection my compliments to the chef. I was boring with the drinking and just had a scotch on the rocks, my wife however tried a beet martini that Pierro suggested and she was very pleased. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the overall atmosphere was great. I will definitely come back and enjoy another meal at this wonderful restaurant. Highly recommend!Once again Thank you Pierro and the great staff at Aperitif.

Took my wife here for Valentine's day. Beautiful atmosphere. Food and drinks were amazing. For starters we had calamari and oysters, very fresh. Definitely a must try. For my entree I had the duck a' l'orange. Probably the best duck I've had in a long time. My wife had the salmon which she loved. I would highly recommend this place. Will be coming back soon!

Service was a bit slow, there was zero cheese on the Caesar salad and the mussels were very small and mostly missing from the shells, but food is excellent, especially the gnocchi and rack of lamb.

The food was very good, even they offered us some drinks for free as a promotion, but I order "foie grass" to get some pâte, honestly I have good pâte and home and even if wasn't a bad one, pate is not fua and I wouldn't ever order it if the menu said pate, I know most americans confuse one with the other, but you should fix the menu. I will give five stars when I come back if it's fix.thanks.

Had a surprise party (15 pple) at the bar on a Sat night, reserved one side of it which was plenty of room. It was a great experience, we were very well taken care of by Alejandra (the events coordinator), bartender, and servers. Food was delicious. We did open bar (beer/wine) for two hours, which was well worth it. Had a cake delivered there & they took care of cake-cutting etc. Would definitely recommend for a private event. I ordered apps off the menu for guests but would suggest ordering platters for a larger group bc appetizer portions are very small. We'll be back for dinner! :)

Not sure how I missed this place for so long. Everything was great from you entered. Staff was warm and welcoming. Food service was great and the meal was delicious. Will definitely be back with family and friends! Unlike a place I visited few weeks ago we did not feel rushed and we were able to enjoy our meal!

I haven't been to Apertif in a few years but we had such a great experience a few weeks ago we decided to give it another go. We were not disappointed. The service was top-notch - best in town for sure - and the food was great. Ambience and noise were perfect. If you haven't been there, or haven't been there in a while, you should put it on your list.
