    Our second time at 618, and it continues to be an excellent dining experience. The ambiance, food, drinks, and service are all incredible. Food & drinks are deliciously handcrafted. Our server, Danielle, made the experience even more enjoyable. She was very helpful, nice, and knowledgeable of the menu. Definitely will be back!

    Went for our Anniversary. Greeted by Host staff with Happy Anniversary, seated promptly and on our table sat a card from 618 giving anniversary wishes and thanks for spending out dinner with 618. Next we received complimentary champagne for our celebration. Tremendous service ( ty CJ) and even better meal followed (ty Chef). We ate from the new menu and it was alive with vibrant tastes and textures. A tremendous dinner on all fronts. (Ty 618)

    Wonderful atmosphere, top notch service and our seafood dishes also delicious - mine was halibut his was Bronzino. Both were great. And the wine was also very nice. I had a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand called SJP. We were Celebrating my guys birthday and got a delicious pistachio cake with a huge sparkler to top off the evening ! Highly recommend.

    If I could give 618 five HUNDRED stars, I would! My husband and I had our anniversary dinner here over the weekend, and we were blown away with the service. There was a card and personalized menu upon arrival to our table, and THEN our incredible server Christine (ask for her when you go!) brought us a champagne toast. I adored the chandeliers and floral accents which felt delicate and dreamy. We started with the Grilled Flatbread, which was perfectly crispy and had the perfect mix of different cheeses and arugula. The "Baby Gem Hearts Caesar" was the perfect size to share before our entrees. My husband had the "Jersey Scallops" special, and I had the "Grilled Organic Salmon," both of which were absolutely excellent. The fish was fresh and we loved the accompaniments to the entrees. The wine menu is extensive and Christine suggested the perfect Pinot Noir to go with my husband's entree. Throughout the meal, the personalized touches contined, as Michael (one of the front-of-house managers), spoke with us about where we're from, our anniversary, etc. As I was being shown the restroom later on, another server mentioned he was from the same town, which really showed the attention to detail the staff has for its patrons. After our plates were cleared, I mentioned to Christine that I was pregnant and couldn't imbibe for the champagne toast, and with our dessert, she brought out a pistachio espresso "mocktail." I was so touched by her thoughtfulness! Speaking of dessert, the Toffee Cake and Gelato were perfection, and Christine brought them out with sparklers! From start to finish, our experience was absolutely impeccable and we cannot wait to dine again with 618 soon. This is the perfect dining establishment to celebrate any and every occasion, and families are welcome!

    Love 618!! Always a great experience. The food is amazing. The atmosphere perfect. Lighting , music level and service create the perfect framework for a great meal. The staff really goes out of their way to make you feel special. They remember if you a return guest and things as simple as what you had to drink the last time you were there. Last evening, our server Joe lived up to all of this and more. The food speaks for itself. Every meal crafted to perfection. I hardly ever write a review, if ever. 618 was worth my time, because I’m worth their time.

    Each time that I go to 618 it’s a new experience. From the unique drinks to the outstanding entrées. It’s always a hard to decide what to eat there because everything is so good. Let’s not forget Connor he is not only a great server, but he’s very knowledgeable on what they have to offer on the menu.

    From the minute we come through the door, our escape begins. 618 is our spot to slow down. As soon as you enter, you are immersed into perfection. From the food, to the staff, to the cocktails, to the ambience, its a treat to be there. We celebrate and will continue to enjoy life's wonderful moments at 618. Every staff member makes you feel like the most important guest there. Last night, our perfect date was orchestrated by the amazing food and over the top service, especially from our server Cara. Looking forward to our upcoming anniversary this summer. There is no where else to be.

    This was my first time at this restaurant. I had a wonderful time as did my wife. We celebrated our five year wedding anniversary here. Everything from start to finish was fantastic, but it would not have been as good as it was if it was not for the waiter, Connor. He really made everything special, had a great attention to detail and did an amazing job. I will definitely be going back there for both casual and formal dining. Great job, Connor.

    Absolutely the best in and around our town. Food and drinks are fabulous and the ambiance can’t be matched. Service was, as always, flawless. Our server was fantastic and a gentleman who I believe was an owner or manager came over to our table several times to check on us. He was a class act as is the entire restaurant. We, of course, will be back.

    I brought my parents to celebrate their 26th Wedding Anniversary. We first started our night at the bar before we were seated for dinner. The staff at the bar was so welcoming and really put on a show with their drinks! When we were seated for dinner, our table was decorated with two red napkins shaped like roses, an anniversary card from all of the 618 staff, and three flutes of champagne. 618 had established a welcoming and loving environment! I wish there were more words to describe how excellent our waitress was! The appetizers, entrees, and dessert were fantastic! The time between each course was well planned and long enough to fulfill our hunger for the next dish! We have not stopped tabling about 618 and will be visiting again very, very soon!
