    This was our second time. And it was as good as if not better than the first. Also, we added a person to our party a few hours before our reservation and we were accommodated without a problem.. All the staff, server, hostess, owners, etc, are extremely welcoming and responsive to all in any needs.. I happen to be gluten-free and non-alcoholic and I always find wonderful options and extreme care was given to my needs. Can’t wait for our next dining experience there!

    Ambience and service were great. Food was so-so. Fries were too salty to eat, and sandwich, while huge and impressive, wasn’t my cup of tea. Wasn’t worth $26. Still, I’ll probably go back.

    One of the best experiences I have had in a restaurant in a long while. Food was incredible. Loved the atmosphere. Has a speakeasy vibe. Excellent in every way. Will definitely be back.

    Going to this place was the greatest mistake of my entire month. I have never heard a worse time at a restaurant to my memory. I’ll start with the positives; awesome atmosphere. Really, the jazz band was the best part of my night and the cozy vibe made for a great ambiance. Now for the rest of it. Who ever is in charge of preparation needs to be sat down and given a talk. When I ordered the Creole cassoulet, my server took my order and came back and said “we don’t have that”. When I ordered the gumbo, my server took my order and then came back and said “we don’t have that”. What? I came to silver girl at 7:00 and the establishment closes at 9:00. For two hours, what was the plan? To just not have the food that paying customers order on the menu? I asked the waiter “what do you have?” He said the beef and the sando were available. The sando was when I really started to get annoyed at this place. It is just a chicken sandwich. It’s a buffalo chicken sandwich, and it’s the worst most metallic buffalo taste we ever had experienced. It was a $30 buffalo chicken sandwich! The menu doesn’t even mention that it is Buffalo, which seems to be a problem. Extremely disappointing. The beef was good, but the portion was so small I was still hungry afterwards. The greens and grits were very bland. Because she did not eat and my portion was so small, my date and I ended up going to another restaurant after just to be able to have dinner. The prices are astronomical for what you receive. I couldn’t process how expensive this meal was. It was over 100 for two entrees and 3 drinks. One of my cocktails was in the absolute smallest glass— it was like the volume of a votive candle holder. No one should be going to Silver Girl. Seriously, it’s not ready. It is such an unprofessionally run establishment, amateurish. To management at silver girl: if you continue to run your restaurant in this way, you will go out of business.

    Tremendously attentive staff! Knock-socks-off mussels starter. Delicious eggplant entre and duck confit. Cocktails initially disappointing, but staff took them back for alternatives and bartender Zack really came through as a caring, non defensive corrector. All in all, a wonderful experience.

    The look and feel of the restaurant is elevated and nice but the food is not. Prices should not be as much as high as Boston restaurants.

    Silver Girl knows how to put out a delicious meal. Their food quality and presentation is lovely. Unfortunately, their service continues to be a concern. Attention to detail is necessary. Removing plates when finished. Being sure that the table is kept tidy is critical. Also, our cocktails came out one at a time with a long lag time between. Awkward when wanting to share the moment. Training in front of the house is needed!!!

    Wonderful and an exceptionally positive experience in dining. We will happily remember it until we return to do it again. Friendly and welcoming service, perfect cocktails, and delicious meals. Eggplant and duck entrees are very tasty. The brussel sprouts appetizer is full of flavor and the presentation was impressive. Desserts all looked great so we shared Maritozzi and it was a fine end to a memorable meal.
