Food quality not what it used to be. Steak was sub par compared to previous visits. This place used to make the best box cut NY steak. Recent visit left us very disappointed with this selection.

Parking is tight but the valet service handles it for you. Check in was right on time and friendly hostess. Waitress did her job. Food was good. Sides are minimal. Overall a bit pricey but nice for a special occasion..

Very cool old-fashioned type of ambience. People around looked to be having a really great time. The noise level was on the VERY loud side - so much so that we had to lean over to each other just to be able to hear each other. The food was alright. For the price, it felt like we were paying for mostly paying for the ambience. We ordered 2 salads, the brussel sprouts, bistro fries, broccolini, and 3 steaks to share. The steaks were quite underwhelming, unfortunately; they were a bit on the dry side on the inside and outside, like they were just drowned in butter and more butter, but nothing else. All the other dishes were also just okay. Also, were not that impressed with the cocktails. Probably would just come back next time for the atmosphere.

I always love this location for many years I took a friend last night for dinner. Ambiance is always great. Service was amazing food was not so great it used to be much better and it’s kind of annoying when you get charged for a cube of ice it’s a complete turn off.

Our dinner experience was awesome and our server was amazing, however, upon arrival. The blonde hostess looked at us as if we didn’t belong there until we mentioned that we had a reservation, immediately her demeanor changed. We were seated in a booth and greeted to which we believed is the manager (sorry forgot his name). His amusing and friendly attitude was just top notch. He immediately brought over an envelope for my wife and shared a birthday greeting. The night was wonderful. The food was delicious and savory. Always, always order their bread roll it’s so darn fresh. I’m going to end it here. You have to order what you like, you won’t be disappointed.

My wife and I have been talking about coming here for a long time. We had a good reason to celebrate so we decided to finally go. We could not have been happier. The food was excellent. We got the white corn lobster soup, hearts of palm salad, broccolini, filet, and ribeye. Everything was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The standout though was the service. We had outdoor reservations, but they easily accommodated us by finding a nice table in the main restaurant. All of the staff were amazingly helpful with suggestions, service, etc. Corkage was $35 fir reference.

A’s is more than the great food and service, thank you ,Santiago, it’s a trip down memory lane. We’re in our late 7o’s and when we walk into A’s we’re back in the 60’s with the dark cool, leather ambiance. Please, please never change the decor.
