Friendly staff and very delicious food. Ended up getting all three mocktails which were all good. Got the lamb chop sliders, short rib ravioli and the brussel sprouts side to start which were all great. Fiancé got the pork chops which he raved about. I ordered Angry Shrimp and Pasta (less spicy) which was good and went perfectly with the bread they gave us for the table. Finished with the Warm Chunky Monkey Brownie and Chocolate Decadence. Ordered the Pistachio Martini (the couple next to us RAVED about it) and White Cosmo to go. Packaged super cute in bottles and a to-go box. Overall 15/10 - will be back soon!

What a beautiful New Year’s Eve dinner my husband & I had. Our server Ava was wonderful & so kind. We loved her! The staff (Managers & chef) came over to our table to check to make sure we are having a nice dinner. Loved having the caviar as part of our appetizer for NYE dinner. Nice touch. Main course was delicious. My husband had the pasta with bolognese sauce. I had pasta with kale pesto sauce. Both were delicious. For dessert was blueberry sorbet & a pistachio martini. They decorated the restaurant so beautifully for Christmas & had a DJ near the bar area. The music was at the right volume where you can enjoy music and not have to scream to hear one another. All in all this place is wonderful. The bartenders were very busy making delicious drinks. We will be returning.

What a great experience at 618 on New Years Eve. All of the food was excellent. The skirt steak was a standout for sure. Our waiter, Marc made our experience even better with his thoughtful suggestions and outstanding service. We will definitely be back.

Great NYE dinner. Was unsure about dining out with 2 small kids but they were very accommodating with a high chair and cute activities for the kids. Our waiter Dan P was knowledgeable about the menu and provided great service. The crab cakes and pork chop entree were the highlight for me. The mistletoe margarita was also a hit! Will definitely go back!
