   Was my birthday and we had a reservation, guess we didn't need one since the bartender just told us to sit anywhere. The wait was a little long but food very good.

   If you enjoy interesting and delicious food this is the right place. Stuffed dates, lambchop lollipops, yucca sticks, lamb meatballs, are just some of the great appetizers!! The entrees and specials are always excellent - not sure how they do it, because I’ve tried almost all the entrees, and they’ve all been fantastic. We like to try different places and then we go back to XO.

   Great meal despite a rocky start. It was very busy the weekend before Valentine’s. We had a reservation, were seated, given water and menus, then crickets for 30 minutes. We said something and we were honestly forgotten about. A server came over right away, apologized profusely, said drinks were on them and took our order. The manager then came over apologized again, really sincere and friendly. I recommend the ceviche, it’s a little different than traditional but delicious The green apple curry soup was great Lots of vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan options of those are your jam. Being dairy free having dessert out is nearly impossible. There are two options the vegan chocolate tart was amazing. We’ll defiantly go again.

   Food wasn’t anything special, service was disorganized. We sat at the bar and even though it was half empty, someone came over while we still had half a plate of food and half of a drink and handed us our check because we didn’t want dessert.

   The music was very loud and it was hard to hear our server and busser. My food came out extremely over cooked (it was corrected). The service was fine, but nothing exceptional. I feel that the experience would have been very different on the restaurant side versus the function side. Overall the experience was ok, but I was hoping for better.

    Food was excellent, the singer was great to listen too. The waitress was slow, she was hard to get to our table. And other tables that sat after us got food before us.

    This was the second time we went to XO . The waitress always seems to be in a hurry. The food is awesome. It gets a little loud as it gets busier. I would go there for any occasion.

    Winter special cocktail Peppermint bark martini a nice way to start off, very yummy. Dewars and soda order had our server/bartender stumped as she had never heard of the drink! Came back to the table to ask what type of soda. Did get the drink correctly but the size of the glass did not warrant the $10 price tag!!! Ordered another evening special, coconut shrimp to start, followed by onion soup for me and chicken noodle for hubby. Ended with the lamb lollipop appetizer which was cooked to perfection and also nice and lean. No room for dessert.

    I won’t be back. Server seemed annoyed that we were seated in her station. Brought us wrong food and overcharged us for a bottle of wine (instead of a glass) and an extra calamari that we never ordered but also never brought out the salad I did order. Not friendly and we felt rushed the entire dinner. Food was decent but nothing special for the price.

    I guess I did not like that a 20% tip was automatically added on to our bill and we were only a party of 5 people. I typically give 20% anyway but I like to get the option to decide how much I give. One of our meals was forgotten about and we had to wait quite a while for it to come out. But the food was good and we really enjoyed the band that was playing and the atmosphere there in general.

    Food is expertly prepared and excellent. We had the best salmon dish and I don’t really like salmon. It was a very busy night and the waitstaff was working hard and it was appreciated. One of my favorite Manchester small restaurants. We can’t wait to return. They also have great vegan and gluten free options.

    I was met at the door when I arrived which was a good thing because there was not a hostess station at the door. I was given a menu as soon as I sat down. The Aperol Spritz I ordered was well made. The hummus appetizer was tasty but the two accompanying items were tasteless and without flavor. They did not add to the appetizer. The blackened tofu was well made but the veggies that came with it were bland. There was not enough balsamic vinegar to boost the flavor. And the guacamole was off putting and did not add to the dish. Maybe the chef added the guac because there was not enough balsamic for the dish? It just did not fit with the veggies. But the wait staff were very attentive and kept checking in with me. The restaurant was almost empty though. Is it struggling to stay open? The bar section was lively and had customers but there were a lot of empty tables in the tiny restaurant. I was here on a Monday night. Maybe parking is an issue? I wanted to try this restaurant because it was new to me but I do not think I will be back.

    Saturday dinner before a performance at the Palace - Greek salad appetizer was well-plated and delicious. Seared salmon and lobster ravioli special was fantastic (if monochromatic). My better half enjoyed with vegan Chick*n wrap. Drinks were yummy and fast: strawberry jalapeño marg (spicy!) and pomegranate martini. Attentive service. We shall certainly return.

    Four of us went for dinner while traveling. Food was very good, large portions...which we shared. The noise level was a bit loud but it was a Friday night. The best part of the experience was the staff. Our waitress was one of the best ever and the manager greeted us, chatted with us and was very engaged. It made for an enjoyable night. Thank you! Only reason for the 4 stars was the noise level and a couple of possibly undercooked scallops of no consequence.

    Tuesday night movie date night so were in the mood for a light tapas-style meal before the show. Started with daily special of coconut shrimp, then on to another daily special salad which was nicely split for sharing. Stuffed dates and lamb lollipops rounded out our meal. All appetizers very delicious and freshly prepared. Look forward to a return visit.
