   We loved our experience at A's Crystal Cove. The bar and restaurant are beautiful; the drinks are so good and well prepared, my only complaint would be that I would rather have a traditional martini glass instead of a coup. Our appetizer, spicy yellowfin tuna and the charred Caesar were both excellent. Emanuel was so attentive and took care of our every whim. The food was really delicious, and we had the best time celebrating our birthdays. A's made us feel truly special!

   Really good atmosphere here and a beautiful restaurant. We ordered branzino, filet mignon, rigatoni a la vodka, and the salmon. Sides are separate. The pasta sauce was too sweet and broccolini was too crispy but everything else was great. We also ordered the rhubarb tart which was great but needed more cream. Service was great. Right as we were leaving a dj was setting up so I think it turns into a bar in the evening.

   We went here for a girls night dinner and absolutely loved it! Our server was wonderful, the food was delicious, and the music was fun. Definitely will be back here in the future!

   We came for sunset sips happy hour. All the drinks; wine and manhattan were excellent. Wine Wednesday allowed us to sample expensive wines at half price. Whipped feta, meatballs, yellow tail fish, and iceberg lettuce wedge salad were excellent. Service is always great. Had live music tonight, guitarist. Nice touch. Always a great restaurant to visit.

   Unlike the other location, this A does not cultivate that rat pack atmosphere but feels (and sounds) more like a bistro. Nonetheless the service is impeccable, the wine list pretty serious, and the food is good

   When we arrived. All of the doors to the restaurant were open. As much as the weather was moderate. Definitely too cold to sit near the door ways. Asked to sit back in the restaurant because of the temp. And we were accommodated.

    Salmon was dry and flavorless. I have had better salmon at Outback. The steak that was ordered medium rare was overcooked. The steak that was ordered medium was undercooked. The halibut was not moist. The Caesar salad was dry. Wait staff was not interested in hearing about it. An "employee benefit fee" was added to the bill. This is a dishonest way to do business. I pay my own employees benefits and charge published prices that reflect my costs. We have typically eaten at A several times a year. We will give it a pass for a while, especially since this was a birthday/anniversary celebration for our guests. When we eat next door at Marche Moderne, I know the prices will be high, but the food will be superb, and staff are genuinely interested in the quality of the experience.
