   We had a great time at A Restaurant. It was our 1st time there and where well serviced. Our server was on top of everything. The food was very good. The ambiance was nice. A bit to dark for me though, but ok. The only complaint that I would have is that they added an employee health thing to my bill. Seems like a bill that was over $400 with tax and tip was not enough. I'm pretty sure the restaurant can afford to pay their employees health benefits instead of having their patrons pay part of it. Seems unnecessary. Maybe in a few years we are expected to pay part of their social security as well.

   Great table- appreciate that If you need the table by a certain time you should tell us ahead of time and really don’t care for that NEVER have had this happen at original A Sometimes when it’s just the 2 of us we are there an hour Sometimes with certain guests it can be 2 1/2 I ll put it in my reservation request next time if I think it will be over 2 hours, but hope that doesn’t affect our table and also, sometimes you just don’t know for sure We were just finishing coffee and after dinner drink and convo Anyway, don’t become Hillstone ;)

   We love coming to A restaurant! It’s a special atmosphere. We love ordering the yellowfin tuna on eggplant, salty pear martinis, espresso martinis, and any of the steak entrees! Service is wonderful!

   The best dining experience as always where our waitress made us feel like family. Sitting in the classic red booth feeling like a throw back in time. We were served Rib eyes and Cheese burgers along with a chopped wedge salad , cream spinach and mashed potatoes done the A style. Every bite taken was mouth watering. The bar atmosphere was booming and we could not have had a better time !

   Old school steakhouse vibe which was cool. The downside was the noise. Acoustics were bad where it made it very loud. Corkage fee was $40 instead of $35 on the OT menu.
