    Such amazing service, and the food is to die for. Absolutely incredible food. However the menu was drastically different from what we saw online (went from more Texas style to Asian fusion) and we were literally the only table in the whole restaurant for the entire 2 hours we were there. It’s kind of a club scene, which we didn’t expect, but didn’t bother us since we were the only ones there. Not sure I’d go back, due to the club scene, but the food is worth it.

    The food is…. Not good is my best way to describe. Extremely overpriced. And I don’t mind spending. Also dead in there. On a Saturday at that. I remember when it was hard to get a resy. Out of town friends insisted on going but quickly saw what I was trying to warn them about. Save yourself.

    Years ago the food was better. I held my 31st birthday dinner there and I was highly embarrassed and disappointed. The food was horrible and to top it off they gave me a piece of cake hard as a rock. The food is sooo expensive but not worth the price at all.

    Old fashion had a slice of orange instead of just the zest which makes the drink bitter. Since it's on the menu, unsure why the bartender is not trained to make it correctly. For those that drink "old fashion" the zest matters. Brought a cake out to celebrate a birthday, however it was hard, like a hockey puck. It was awful. We thought it was a joke at first because we could not cut it. Even the couple next to us said it was sad. The server saw us having a hard time with it, didn't offer to bring another. Good thing, I had a hidden Nothing bunt cake to surprise him with, once we arrived home. Always have a plan B!!!!

    The food was good. I wouldn’t say the best I’ve ever had. My lemon drop was good. But mediocre. The server was really nice. There’s a hooka lounge next door and the music was loud. And there was a super loud table behind us. They were rude. The table was too close and they kept bumping our chair. It wasn’t a bad experience. I doubt I’ll return the food was over priced for the quality.

    My son had food allergies, specifically shrimp and shellfish. He ordered the salmon which was garnished with shrimp. After returning the dish, the manager, responded and asked specifically what my son’s allergies were and explained how they would fix the issue. He was adamant that there would be no cross contamination in the next dish. Needless to say, he enjoyed his meal. We both did. We will definitely return. Thank you Thirteen!

    The food was good. I paid $70 for 2 drinks. One shot of Don Julio Anejo and a double shot of the same. I think that’s a bit much for that however we enjoyed it. Will we return (perhaps)?
