    We had a wonderful dinner at Bond 45 last night. We celebrated 2 birthdays and had such a great time. Our waiter, Trevor, was excellent! He was friendly, entertaining, attentive and professional. The drinks were excellent and the meals were exceptional. The lasagna and chicken parmesan were delicious! The restaurant was decorated gorgeously for the holidays. Definitely will go again and thanks Trevor for making our birthdays fun and special!

    We had an amazing dinner experience last night. Our waitress Kathy, from Venezuela, was one of the best parts of our evening. She was in tuned to our needs, knowledge of the menu and drinks, and very charismatic. Our meal was delicious, I got the spaghetti and the addition of baratta cheese was fantastic. The atmosphere was the icing on the cake. I felt like we were in some far away land. The twinkle lights, the trees, it was magical.
