    Great food and service but I found it strange and tacky that there is grey duct tape covering half of the lighting so it doesn’t shine in patrons eyes 👀 There’s got to be a better way- black matte tape?

    We sat at one of the low tables in front of the restaurant because my husband uses a walker and cannot navigate stairs easily. The chairs are a bit too low for the table and more suited to a cocktail lounge than for dining. We love A’s and this location, but suggest different chairs if you ever replace the furniture. The service was amazing and food is always delicious!

    Absolutely love a crystal restaurant, you can always count on great vibe, service and food time after time. Last night was no exception we were fortunate to have Matt serve us and he is amazing. He made the evening extra special. I had the pork chop, which is out of this world with the most amazing sauce. Two others at the table had their skirt steak which I’ve had before and it’s just amazing as well. Really miss the Steak TarTar and and their Rack of Lamb….hope they bring it back. It’s the best we have ever had. Jerry & Joy 🤩
