Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Thirteen by James Harden offers a vibrant atmosphere with standout dishes like "lamb chops" and "teriyaki salmon." While the service shines, with highlights like "amazing servers," the restaurant's loud music and high prices have been noted. Despite mixed reviews on food and menu changes, the lively vibe and "great drinks" make it a memorable spot.

    This was our first time at the restaurant. It was karaoke night and that part was fun. Our waitress was nice and friendly. Our food was terrible my seafood rice was crunchy the rice was not done after sending it back twice they just couldn’t get it right. The crab loaded fries had little pieces of crab meat and the fries had no seasoning. The mashed potatoes tasted like instant potatoes. My husbands pasta was dry and lacked seasoning. Finally the manager came over im assuming it was the manager she didn’t introduce herself she just asked did i want anything else from the menu. We will not be back. The food was to expensive to taste like garbage and be uncooked.

    Actually a horrible experience we had reservations at 9:30 and did not get seated until 1045. We then had to wait 30 minutes for a drink and we put food order in and I guess they ran out of food and just didn’t tell us cause by 1145 no food had been brought to us by then they also happen to be out of a lot of things which they didn’t tell us until we ordered and it seemed like they were having a private party and catering to their needs first which is fine, but they probably shouldn’t have been open for the public if this is going to be an issue, really disappointed because I came for my birthday dinner and left hungry and very disappointed.

    The food is over priced. Don't know why our food was $150 Our table was too close to other customers dinning. But I would definitely come back to try the other food items on the appetizer menu. My lemon drop very good and strong!

    Expected a great experience based off previous reviews. Waitstaff was great but the kitchen did not have anything we wanted on the menu and did not notify us until after we placed our order. The manager was gracious enough to adjust our bill and provided a complimentary bottle of champagne for our party.

    They were out of the 18 oz and the braised rib but they substituted with a filet and two lamb chops.

    I have been to Thirteen a few times and I will say I am disappointed in the food and parking. Valet now costs $40 with a $2 credit card fee. I would rather walk in the rain and park across the street in the garage (which we did). Next was the food. I was disappointed to see some of my friends received large seafood egg rolls and myself and another guest received shrimp wraps (aka seafood egg roll). Lastly the seafood fried rice was undercooked and I thought it was just my rice but other friends shared their rice with salmon was undercooked and hard as well. Our waiter was nice and accommodated us for the shrimp wraps. I was hosting friends and family and thought to myself since I haven't been to Thirteen in a while that maybe they have upgraded and they have. The restaurant is nice but the menu is limited with about 6-8 meal choices. I think I've had my fair share of Thirteen.

    This is an aesthetic restaurant at best and a celebrity spot. The service was disappointing, the restaurant was empty and no one was attentive although they were fully staffed but the worst part was the food. It’s obvious everything is frozen and there was no thought behind the menu. Dishes was tasteless and bland. We sent out 3/7 orders. They were nice enough offer alternative dishes and comp us but essentially we all left and went to another restaurant to eat dinner again. The bar side is a vibe and nice but I wouldn’t go to eat at the restaurant ever again.

    Went for an anniversary dinner with my bf. We had a really great and attentive waiter. Food was great as well. The one thing that threw me off was the choice of plates. The plates gave a very casual vibe for what is to be a fine dining experience. It seems small but given the price point, I expect a nicer presentation and plate. Despite this, I’d definitely go back and sit at the bar. Drinks were amazing and we enjoyed the vibe!
