"I had pointed out that the occasion was for my partner and my jubilee. from the moment we check on our repentance, we were greeted by the employees who congratulate us on our jubilee. all employees were warm, personal and professional, and they all helped make the night a beautiful experience. our waiter, sonny, was friendly, charismatic and very knowledgeable in the menu and in the location to ask the few menu-related questions that we asked him to answer thoroughly. our steaks were excellent and I highly recommend saving space for the cocoscake dessert. I would definitely recommend grill 23, especially for those who celebrate a special occasion."

"Wow... my 1st word. An absolutely 5 star experience when it came to drinks, food and most of all service! The steak was perfect and probably beats that famous steak house in Vegas. Dessert was so good that even though I was full I ate it all. And now that I am writing this I want more. I usually don't give 5 stars lightly as you all know, and if I could complain about one thing would of been the crowded entry way... but once you got in and to your area it was private and soothing with wonderful soft music in the background. I recommend anyone visiting Seattle.. if you want the best steak in town you must go here! Make a reservation ahead of time!"

"I’ve been to Farmers Distillers numerous times and some were not so good. This was definitely the worst experience. It took more than 5 minutes for the host to come to the host stand and seat a party that was there before us and then us. When we were seated it took another 5-10mins for the waiter to come and greet us. After which he didn’t seem to be too familiar with what was available. We were told they were waiting on a shipment. It would have been great if we’d been informed what was not available on the menu before we made our selections. We opted to just leave instead of the multiple substitutions that would have been necessary. When informing the host of our departure he was incredibly nonchalant about the whole thing. Overall; this was the most disappointing experience and it seems F D has really struck out."

"First time I have eaten here. My wife and I decided to try something new. We both ordered the special which was the prime rib. My wife ordered rare and I ordered medium- rare. Both came to the table tough as leather and well done. I also ordered the 14oz and maybe was 8oz at most. I honestly don't think I've had a worse steak. The bill was around $100.00. As an additional note the waiter said as we paid that it looked pretty well done and not right. So yes he served it anyway. I guess we learned something!"

"To be fair we were exhausted. We had just landed from long flight from UK. So we just wanted some thing hot before we crashed in hotel next door. Had to ask for waiter to come get our order.. soup sent back was Luke warm… if that. Calamari also Luke warm and served with ice cold dipping sauces. Had to ask for water refill and then waiter took glasses from table and brought them back. Not sure I got my glass and my sister had a really bad cold. Asked for bread. Two pieces of cold focaccia bread sat on our table no butter or olive oil, salt or pepper on table to make dipping sauce. Asked for olive oil. And it came when we were ready to leave. Still no pepper or salt. And the house soup had absolutely no flavor. Will not go there again. Very disappointed"

"It can be quite the task to find the perfect restaurant to take my ex-chef father to for special occasions, an adventure that was further complicated by the pressures of the ever-stressful Father’s Day Dinner. Thank goodness for Blue Duck Tavern in Foggy Bottom! The menu boasts fresh, local ingredients, simplistic dishes, and phenomenal flavors that hit the spot. It can bring ex-chefs to their knees. The restaurant is gorgeous – high ceiling, aesthetically pleasing interior architecture, large windows that allow a lot of light inside, and a very quaint and beautiful outdoor seating area. Reservations are recommended for any day of the week but parking is amazingly not too difficult so it’s totally worth the trip. Blue Duck is affiliated with the Hyatt hotel, so expect a mix of tourists and locals looking for an excellent dining experience. On to the food! I’ve heard rave reviews about the signature Pear Martinis…but I could not pass up the opportunity to order a Cucumber-Ginger Martini. Super satisfying and surprisingly not too sweet for my palette! The ginger really balanced out the drink and gave it a perfect kick. Will probably not please everyone – my mom made quite the face after having a sip of my drink – but I thought it was pretty fantastic (I had two. ‘Nough said! Blue Duck has an extensive wine list and a plethora of other signature drinks and a large beer selection so there’s a little something for everyone. The dishes are tapas-style, even the entrees. For example, crab cakes are served without any type of garnish, just two cakes in pan with some type of tartar sauce on the side. I would definitely recommend ordering side dishes to supplement the meal, since you won’t get much with the entrée! All that foodie hype sure lived up to expectations. Not to overuse my current favorite obsession..but the crab cakes (what else would I order?! were delicious and were very meaty, they did not taste too fried, weren’t greasy/full of mayonnaise, and weren’t overwhelmed by breading. They were the perfect temperature and very evenly cooked. Enough to share…though go the selfish route and eating them all for yourself! I recommend ordering a couple of side dishes in addition to entrees in order to have a more complete meal. My favorites were the roasted mushrooms (an assortment of shitakes, black truffle, porcini and the daily harvest vegetable. I lucked out and had sugar snap peas sauteed in chipotle chile butter…excellent flavors. And be sure to save room for dessert : We opted for banana chocolate chip sorbet, which consisted of three incredibly generous scoops, and the signature apple pie, which really is more of an apple cake. Plenty to share, though to be fair I refused to let the banana sorbet stray too far from my spoon. Service was wonderful, and I loved how all the food was carried to the tables – the runners/servers all knew who ordered what! Waiter offered great suggestions (especially for dessert! and was attentive and knowledgable. The menu is relatively limited regarding number of offerings but that is not to say it’s at all limited in flavors!…other intriguing dishes include cuttlefish ravioli, smoked sturgeon, and marinated sheep’s milk cheese with fava beans. Brunch breakfast menus looked excellent as well, all the more motivation to go back!"

"This was one the last places on my list of Manhattan steakhouses to try and it did not disappoint. I loved the ambiance. Some might say it’s dated by I appreciate the classic style and decor. If you’re bringing the kids don’t sit in a booth unless you’re cool with all of the pin up era nudity, which I am. My friend and I ordered the porterhouse for 2, goose fat potatoes, drunken mushrooms, black truffle creamed spinach. I’m generally not a fan of peppercorn crust but they only do 1 side so I figured it wouldn’t be too overwhelming and went with the flow. It was perfect. Everything was perfect. The goose fat potatoes were the crispiest I have ever had. Overall I wouldn’t say that the appetizer or dessert selections were too enticing. I would have liked bacon but the way it was prepared seemed very excessive so I skipped it. It seemed more like bacon for people who don’t want to taste the bacon. The bananas foster baked Alaska was interesting. My friend was blown away by it so I guess we will just agree to disagree. It wasn’t bad I just didn’t personally love it. I will definitely be revisiting."

"We had a 1 PM reservation for 4 people on Wed, 8/28/24. I was the 1st person to arrive at 1 PM. We looked at menus and I asked if they had any lunch specials. The waitress said No. We ordered half salads with chicken breast added. I requested bread for the table. The waitress was clearly no happy that we did not order wine. We had to ask for water refills 3 times while we were there. Lunch was delivered to our table 2 half salads with 1/2 chicken breast each. 2 salads were delivered without chicken. We requested she bring the missing chicken and bread. After about 7 minutes I went looking for the waitress. She was no where to be found. I spoke to a man in the kitchen about the missing chicken and bread. He told me he didn’t know anything about it but would get some bread ready. After about 12 minutes the waitress brought the chicken and 3 pieces of bread. There were 4 of us there for lunch. Unbelievable! When she delivered our bills we found a card inside the reads: LUNCH WINE SPECIAL: MONDAY FRIDAY 11 AM 2 PM I asked about lunch specials and she told us there were not any. Unbelievable! Lunch was a huge disappointment. I recommended Wine Dive as a good place to dine for our luncheon and I was totally embarrassed. UGH! I will NEVER recommend Wine Dive again."

"As soon as we walked in, we felt a bit out of place in our sweaty, post-hike attire among the other guests who were dressed elegantly. We explained our predicament, hoping to justify our less-than-fresh appearance as we settled in. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, quickly providing us with phone chargers, delicious drinks, and warm bread, checking in on us regularly to ensure we were comfortable. The food was outstanding; we unanimously agreed that it was some of the best gnocchi and cheesecake we had ever tasted. We truly appreciate The Oyster Bar for welcoming us into their beautiful establishment during such a tough time. Thank you for turning our evening around!"

"I have been trying to dine at Sakura for almost three years, but my schedule never aligned with their operating hours. During my most recent visit to Alyeska, I finally had the opportunity to eat there, and it was absolutely worth the wait! The atmosphere was charming, and the service was exceptional. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and even recommended a special dish for our three-year-old that wasn't on the menu. I enjoyed an Alaska Lager that paired beautifully with my King Salmon Sashimi. The Spicy Tuna Roll and Alyeska Roll were also incredible! The quality of the ingredients was outstanding. We spent just over $200 for a party of six, which I considered quite reasonable. Overall, our experience was definitely worth the wait, and we can’t wait for our next visit. Thank you, Sakura, for a wonderful dining experience!"

"This is the BEST and most CONSISTENT restaurant in San Mateo. My favorite dinner item is the scallops......YUM. The staff is always been polite and attentive. This time I came with the grandkids. We requested that their food be delivered ASAP. They had a magic wand and our wish was granted. It was the PERFECT meal and they met all our needs. Very friendly staff!"

"Since this place didn't take reservation (very small place) we took our chance to just try our luck. We were seated less than a minute on their busiest night....as long as you don't mind sharing tables with strangers and made a few friends. The menu is decent and covers enough varieties. We picked a few basic and some unique dishes just to see how well they compared. We ordered the seaweed salad, crab tempura, black pepper king crab knuckles and the lobster crab lemon grass roll. The seaweed salad was well prepared. Not too sweet and it tasted fresh. The tempura was lite and crispy with a slightly more acidic yuzu dipping sauce which I liked a lot. The one thing I did noticed it the crab is not as fresh as it should have been. The lobster knuckles was somewhat ambitious and hit some high and low marks. High marks for creativity and perfectly studied stir fried veggies. Though the lobsters have a nice delicate thin crust, it's a bit more spicy (with jelopeno) version of the tempura sauce. I know it's a matter of personal preference but I think could be better if the sauce was on the side box you can't take it out if it's too much for the customer. The lobster crab lemongrass roll was the least favorite and disappointing for something that sounded very promising. The rice were a bit mushy for a roll and there were no lobster or crab. It looks like a normal surimi krab roll that's fried and serviced warm (yes it's another fried dish). Not worth the money... hence the missing star from my review. Overall they get a passing grade for service, quality but a bit lacking in the value for the money."

"Not recommend the ramen. It doesn’t taste good at all. Wasted $20 bill for that one. Recommend Seaweed salad, Hawaii roll( cilantro inside, i like this one) miso soup(not recommend, $5 super small bowl without seaweed or tofu inside at all) Maguro sushi and unagi sushi are okay to try. Nothing different with other places. The service is very very slow and no checking on us except bring bills and waiting for tips. No refills our drinks either. This is super small restaurant. Make sure you are okay with sitting in a narrow spot and share the table with bunch of strangers. Never been to a Japanese restaurant like this. But overall, the food were not bad. Just don’t order the ramen, very Bad one. Not worth the money at all. If you want pork belly or chicken, it will be extra $8 or $9. So the ramen will cost you around $30 but with a very flavorless tasting."

"Pretty hard to have a bad experience when Chandler and Misty take care of you! Liz is another great one for ensuring the perfect evening. The entire Team works well together. The Chef prepared delicious elk chops and beef tenderloin to our requested temps. We often try to eat on the healthier side, avoiding sauces, etc. No matter what we ask of them, the Team gets it right! I also had an opportunity to try their soup of the day which was mushroom-based and it was one of the best things I’ve tasted in a long time. Kudos to the entire team! Thanks for making our anniversary dinner so enjoyable!"

"We had a great lunch at Wa Jeal. Starting with scallion pancakes (yum) and ending with my chicken and broccoli (yum again) , the lunch deal (rice, main dish and soup) was very well priced and really delicious. The setting is wonderful--brick walls, and pretty decorations and the service excellent. Highly recommend!!"

"The restaurant has a classy interior with comfortable seating, excellent service, and top-notch seafood, making it ideal for a special celebration. The seafood is exceptionally fresh and high-quality, with divine oysters and delectable lobster bisque. The scallops and crab cakes were cooked to perfection, tender and juicy. The cocktails were tasty and addicting. The presentation and quality of the food are well worth the price."

"I recently dined at a well-known restaurant that typically receives high praise, but was disappointed with my experience at Frank's Outback. I ordered marinated salmon and Chinese-style sweet, but what I received was a dry salmon finger and overcooked, mushy broccoli. My wife ordered fried oysters, which were tough and did not taste like oysters should. The service was lacking as well, with loud young patrons nearby who appeared to be intoxicated. The staff did not seem to discourage their disruptive behavior, likely in hopes of receiving a generous tip. Overall, I found the restaurant to be overrated and will not be returning in the future."

"we came out of billings last november. didn't expect anything to be open next to almost food. we drove past a gentleman who walked along the walk, I asked him what this end would be open and surprisingly we were next to the plonk! how comfortable we thought, but we didn't expect what we actually experienced. man, I was the only patrons. the inner was very quiet. it was perfect. I don't remember the special thing we had, but I know that steak was involved. it was the best steak I ever had. who ever had. we tipped the chef 200 dollar to our shock superstition, he was hardly in his early 20s! he has no doubt a special present and we had so much luck that we served his delicious meals. the desert was a court he had formed and that was also a strange but amazing court. I would come to bozeman to come to an evening meal cooked by the amazing cook. the bartenders were also amazing. very professional smooth bundle. every second. parking: we parked on the road, right next to the building. there are many places to park."
