    Just a COLD MESS. The girl at the front desk want to argue. I physical saw my name in the screen and then she asked me at least 17 questions to imply that my name was in the list. Then I got sat in the corner. The waitress was great. She knew how to keep coming with the lies for the kitchen. The food was horrible. Hard, dry and cold. The ambiance was great! You get to see a lot stuff in here😂. The drinks were worth it but I think it’s because I drink GIN. Very disappointing…

    Staff, both waitress and owner were attentive. We tried two new items Jerk Snapper and Scampi pasta and they were delicious! Dj Rue on the 1&2’s kept the party going! We were celebrating a birthday so it was exactly what we were looking for!

    The food took a long time to come out and was not hot. My waitress never came to check on us and we had to get her attention whenever we saw her. My food was over cooked. I asked for steak to be medium and it was well done.

    This is a wonderful establishment for celebrating and overall, a great place for groups. It a constant flow of good soul music from the DJ with a few hyper songs to keep the night alive! The food is good, unfortunately they did sell out of what I wanted, so I got the Sirloin Tips which were tender and in a zip sauce style gravy. The food has a homemade feel to it which is comforting! The Drinks are good too! Especially the Blue Raspberry Martini!!! I recommend it! I enjoyed the dining experience, and I will be back soon! It's definitely a vibe!

    The place itself is nice. I did like the seating. The Dj seemed to be playing their preference of music rather than the crowd. We waited a hour for food. The place was not crowded at the time. The waitress tried to be accommodating, no error on her behalf. I had my lamb chops ordered medium and they were delivered well done. My date also received the wrong order. Both meals were corrected eventually. Drinks weren’t terrible. Not an establishment I look forward to visiting again.

    The food, service and staff at @districtseventy8 was impeccable! Not only did they give my friend a hand written birthday card. The owners stopped by multiple times to ask about our experience and bought us a round. There are so many dining options in the city and this should be on your list. 10 out of 10! I highly recommend!

    Went for a birthday date and the entire experience was great. We had spicy cauliflower and wings as appetizers, the cauliflower was def 10/10 very good and the wings as well. Lamb chops were perfectly cooked and tender. Martini tree was such a nice touch and the jolly rancher martini was a favorite 🤩 Cannot wait to come back.

    Everything was great from the food to the ambience. Our server was very attentive…almost a little too much. At the end, he randomly came up to my friend and hugged her from behind and gave her a kiss on the cheek. There was no interaction beforehand that warranted him to do that. We were done with our meal and had already paid, so once that happened we quickly got up and left. This interaction wouldn’t stop me from going back. I just wouldn’t want to be served by him anymore. Outside of that, I also love how the managers come over to the tables and actually talk to us and make sure we are well taken care of.

    If i could give negative stars i would. The ambiance was gorgeous, the waitstaff is amazing. But, the manager is horrible. I had to return my food 3 times! Asked to speak with a manager and he didn’t solitude not one time, kept cutting me off and was dismissive. I will NOT EVER be going back! The wait time for a drink is terrible. Very pretty, but horrible service

    I was very excited to take my wife to this restaurant. I put in a reservation about 3 weeks in advance. 1. We were moved to 3 different tables. The table that we were seated at was a low table next to a brick pillar so the ambiance was blocked. Tried to get moved to a better seat we were told no. I don’t understand setting the reservation if we’re going to placed at the worst table there right in front of the dj booth. Drinks I had the Friends with Benefits and my wife had the When Life Gives You Lemons. My drink wasn’t great it wasn’t mixed well and they only gave me about an ounce. The Apps were okay. We had the 78 Wings and the Salmon Little’s. The main course was the 78 Seafood Mac. That was a big no. The Mac and Cheese wasn’t seasoned at all it was very bland and the shrimp and lobster tail was cold. The crab cake was pretty good but I wouldn’t order that dish again. I really wish I had a better experience because I always want to support local restaurants. I would not go back.

    All of my food came out cold. My lamb chops weren’t cooked evenly and I got sick. But the drinks were great and the aesthetic is so vibey. I don’t blame them cause I get it. Stuff happens. Presentation was great though it was just a miss. It was my bday too so I def need a redo.
