It is such a fun and interactive experience! It was not our first and won’t be our last time going to the melting pot! Our server was Julia and she was amazing.

It was a family outing and it was pretty good. My grandson is 12 years old and he loved cooking and eating the food. It was a great experience.

This is our 3rd visit to this restaurant. It has never disappointed! In fact everything was delicious, tasty and rich. Each time we went we tried different dishes. The second time we went we had Mirza, eggplant appetizer, and Feta stuffed dates to begin. Then the lamb shank and Gheymeh Bademjoon, beef stew with eggplant, as entrees. Our most recent visit we went with our son to celebrate his birthday. My son had the Kashke Bademjoon, velvety eggplant, and we shared the Dolmeh, stuffed grape leaves. Both were delicious and flavorful. I had the Chicken Sultani Kebob, Mrs had the Falafel Polo, son had Beef Sultani! All was outrageously flavorful. We had dessert this time with gluten free coconut cake, which was light and not overly sweet and their home made baklava. Both were a wonderful finish to a very satisfying meal. On top of everything Aguila was a very attentive and accommodating host. We look forward to eating here again.

Food was delicious. Cocktails were good overall, but some tastier than others. Service was a bit off & on. We had multiple occasions of searching for our waiter to place orders for food, drinks and dessert (we actually opted not to order dessert because our server never returned to the table). However, we had other staff continually check on us, refill water and remove our finished plates. So, most staff was attentive and all were friendly - but service was spotty at times. Might return again. Really liked the atmosphere and loved all our dishes we ordered.
