    The hostess and our server were fantastic. The food was okay, but certainly not exceptional. In particular, the risotto seemed to be over cooked and over sauced. I would give them another try, and likely look to other items on the menu.

    Terrible calamari not fresh but old frozen bad stuff. Then the Neapolitan dish was very, very bland. Pasta was like you could get at any supermarket and the seafood was clearly frozen and then cooked up with zero flavor. Just the kind of meal one would expect at iHop or Dennys!

    Above and beyond was my two words to describe my experience. I indicated I was celebrating an anniversary and they made us feel great. The service was exceptional and food + drinks came to the table quickly. The food was DELICIOUS! Short rib and Goat cheese vodka pasta is what we ordered and it was incredible. Portions were also very nice, had leftovers for both meals that were as delicious as it was when it was served.

    This was our first time here. I took an friend here for her birthday and she loved it. Loved the server (super outgoing!) and all the food. Even the fellow clearing the tables went out of his way to be helpful. The manager came by several times to ask how things were, fill water, etc. We made sure to let him know things were great! I’ve been told that oh yeah, we’ll be back.

    One of my favorite restaurants on 5th. Food was decent but not as good as it usually is. Sea bass was delicious but the Waygu steak was so so. Meat cut was questionable as it did not appear to be premium quality and was tough to cut. Steak was tasteless. Will give it another try next season.

    This restaurant requires a separate reservation for Prime Rob Thursday Night. Our reservation was for 6 pm, we arrived early and gave our order for rare prime rib before 6 pm. One hour later our PR arrived well done. We were told there was no PR left for 821 could not accommodate us. All of this seemed ridiculous since any customer coming into the restaurant can order PR. Why must you make a special reservation for the evening? With a special reservation, the chef would know exactly how many people intend to order the PR and prepare accordingly. This is not the first time this restaurant has failed us.

    This was our first experience! Everything impressed us from the ambiance, the service to the food and the atmosphere! We sat inside and had such a nice evening! The special appetizer Brie was incredible! The pick 3 dinner was something I never seen before, such a great idea if you are wanting to try multiple things from the menu! Clever idea! The carrot mash and the lemon sauce that went with it was delicious! The crème brûlée ended the night off perfectly! The vibe was welcoming! The service was top notch! I’m so sorry I forgot her name, I’m thinking it was Daniella? I’m not sure but she was positive, upbeat, friendly and professional! We will be back so so so soon!
