    Went here on a Saturday night with a party of 6. Menu was interesting. Cool venue. Not a big place. The food was good. Although I heard afterwards from one of my party that his entree was cold, but we would definitely try it again.

    We have come 'regulars' at Rhythm & Spirits making sure we visit during our short stays in Atlantic City. The vibe is always great and the management always committed to their customers experience. They are responsive when food might not be what was expected by their customer and always have been accommodating. We love this place and recommend it without hesitation!

    Fabulous hidden gem in Atlantic City! Can’t wait till the nice weather when we can sit in the courtyard. Great food, fun atmosphere and fabulous service from start to finish! After dinner we went to their place next door, Bar 32, for a dessert nightcap! Yum! Decadent chocolate drinks and the smell of chocolate! Once again great staff! So many specialty drinks to try at both places so now we know next time to Uber!

    The cabaret was wonderful. The atmosphere so much fun. It’s only a shame that I could only seat dance. My gambes really wanted to jump up and stretch out and up like my arms and hands to the vocal sounds and rhythmic beats of Teddi Fusco. Teddi’s offer to open up the stage a bit for dancing was a lovely offer. Next time, I’ll ask to be seated by the stage when she’s there to take her up on her offer. Thank you for hosting such a great event. The turnout was spectacular to see. The street outside was packed too as I left. Next time after the fine meal at R&S I’ll be sure to reserve a spot for a gourmet dessert next door. This time I just grabbed some Bar 32 solid chocs. Until next time!

    The food was delicious and the service at the restaurant was really good. The friends we were going with had bad colds and I wanted to cancel the reservation but I was told we’d be charged an exorbitant $25 per person to do so, so we went anyway. As I said we were very happy with the food and service but really annoyed about being forced to go.

    Me and my wife went here for restaurant week with reservations for restaurant week and we got there they were hosting a cigar event which stunk the whole place up. They didn’t have food they told us they were ordering from another kitchen and the place was dark and looked like a college kids basement apt. We said Thankyou and walked out and went to Ruth Chris steak house. 100 percent better. I would give them zero stars if I could. Diners beware

    Went for Sunday Dinner. Spaghetti and meatballs and a glass of wine for $19.99 was too good to pass up. The meatballs are the best I've ever had. Heard it was the chefs grandmothers recipe. Super moist and tender with great flavor. My friend has the pork chop which was incredible too. Great place. Check it out.

    Horrible service. We were seated outdoors in the back. Our server arrived and brought us water and the menus but disappeared for about 15 minutes before taking our order. We received some bread in about 10 minutes but only got one of our appetizers (tomato and burrata salad) after waiting at least 30 more minutes. In the meantime the waitress was nowhere to be found during this time. Another staff person came by and apologized for the wait and promised to “push the food out shortly” and in another 10 minutes they brought a pizza out, followed by Arancini, which were refrigerator cold on the inside. The pizza was good, not great. It took another 10 minutes or so to get a few of the mains and then another 10 minutes for the final two pastas to come out. I’d say most of the food was a solid 3-4 stars out of 5, but the wait and the frozen rice balls pretty much set the tone for the evening. We arrived around 7 and didn’t leave until 9:30. The chef/owner came out to apologize and gave us a bunch of chocolate, which was nice but after the mess before this, nothing was really going to fix things. I looked at reviews on another board and noticed mostly good reviews but enough reviews/experiences like ours that I can’t say this was a one-off but more indicative of chronic kitchen and server issues during busier times which have not been sufficiently addressed. Wouldn’t recommend based on our experience.

    The first half of our night was great. There was some confusion with our wine order, and Sara, the marketing executive/sommelier, let us taste a few different wines. The shrimp appetizer and Margherita pizza were delicious. The cacio e pepe and carbonara were both very good. The truffle bucatini was a let down; it needed salt. Our server was terrible. After taking our orders, she disappeared for the remainder of the meal, didn’t check to see if we liked our food, didn’t refill our water, and took forever, and I mean forever, to clear our plates. When she finally came to the table, she asked if we wanted the check - she hadn’t even given us dessert menus yet or even asked if we wanted dessert or coffee. We ordered dessert and waited, again, an ungodly amount of time before I asked her where they were and when they were coming out. She clearly had forgotten them, because when she brought the “AC Spumoni,” it looked like a melted mess. It tasted pretty good, but the presentation was just a hot mess. The terrible service really left a bad taste in my mouth in terms of whether I’d return.

    We had the best time celebrating my fiancés birthday! This gem of a place the celebrate with friends, with fantastic signature cocktails, food that is spot on, and dance to DJ Skyline’s funky beats. It's one of our favorite fun spots! Judi and Kyle (Server/bartender) made us feel very welcome and were super accommodating. They just know there stuff. Not a drink was missed or plate of food forgotten. They are a great team and anticipated the next move for seamless service. We love going here in small groups or large it’s always a great time! We will be back many times over. 💥💥💥

    We have been here often and have enjoyed it, however the last visit the cooking was very off. Not sure if it was an aberration or not. Service was excellent and friendly. Ordered the bucatini and when it came it was a different pasta. The explanation was they ran out so just substituted. That’s not ok. Then ordered another pasta which was very poorly rendered. Cacio di Pepe. Maybe I am a hard judge, but this dish is supposed to be an emulsion of cheese, oil, pepper and water. Simple, but silky texture. What I got was spaghetti swimming in grey pasta water with grated cheese on top. Not even close and whoever cooked it had absolutely no idea what they were doing. Would try this pace again and hope that the experience was an aberration.

    The food was very good as usual although the steak was a little overdone. The service was a little slower because we were trying to wait for drinks out of the bar which seemed to have taken a while and when we went to settle the tip there wasn't up charge for Tito's besides the $15 per cocktail but we finally got that straightened out
