"Be sure to take reservations for outdoor seats on OpenTable, we were told when we arrived that the manager has to change this with OpenTable because outdoor seats come on a first, first served basis only. Despite the mistake, they could still sit on the day we arrived, but I could easily see that it could be a real problem on other days. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great on the roof. Only two small complaints: we ordered lemonade for the children, and what they brought was not typical lemonade, but some fizzy concoction made by the bartenders. Our server couldn't tell us what was in it, and first we were worried that they would drink us someone else and it would have had alcohol in it. One of our children liked it, but the other child didn't drink it, and the server didn't have anything to do about it. My burger was good, but some of our other food items came at the price with quite small portions. The pear salad also had no greenness."

"My husband and I ate here before seeing a show at the Majestic Theater. We both had the Pan Seared Red Snapper. It was the best meal we’ve ever had. The pearled cous cous and nopalito salad made the dish. We were also happy that half portions were offered. The service was excellent. We will definitely be returning!"

"The atmosphere was good, the noise level was ok, the food was missing. The service was very good, nice waiters and reception! The sweetness of the sauces in our Mexican food was very different and not good! Even the salsa for the fries was more like spaghetti. How do you mess up something simple like salsa? We think the worst was the enchilada sauce, sweet sauce, cinnamon doesn't go with enchiladas, I don't care if it's California, it doesn't taste good, sorry !!!!!!"

"REVIEW 15 EAST We literally stumbled upon this fantastic Japanese restaurant that created such a beautiful outdoor dining experience. I noticed the pretty display of colors and beautiful décor from a distance and decided to make this establishment the home of our 35th anniversary celebration. 15 EAST did not disappoint. We started with the sashimi appetizer very delicate and refined, although a bit pricey. $70) and then went on to have another appetizer a delicious pasta with uni. This was the perfect ending to a lovely dinner…so we thought. The servers graciously surprised us with a delicious anniversary dessert. The servers, I believe one of them was named Miguel were on point, pleasant and were clearly eager to please!!! The hostess was very welcoming as well. We will definitely be returning to this beautiful outdoor oasis!"

"Nice, cozy room with a small but well-designed selection of beers. The food is also very good; The starters may seem a little expensive for a gastropub, but for gourmets they are comparable in complexity and taste to dishes in the rich table, a rare find in the outer mission / Bernal. If you are looking for tasty snacks, great cocktails and beer in the neighborhood, I highly recommend this hotel."

"I was disappointed upon entering yet another cement floor industrial space hipster wanna be restaurant. I miss a cozier restaurant environment, where you can have a quiet conversation, and digest your meal in peace. The chicken liver mousse with carmelized onion was delicious but two slices of bread was not enough for an entire container of mousse. It would have been nice to have some flat bread to spread the mousse. The toast was fine but I don't think it complimented the mouse. The baby octopus was delicious, however the accompanying veggies had an odd vinegar flavor. The seared scallops were perfect but would have like to see more than two on the plate. The noise level was not conducive to meaningful conversation."

"This restaurant can be a bit difficult to locate, as it's situated on the second floor of an office building with a nondescript entrance on the new pedestrian-friendly Giralda Avenue in Coral Gables. It's a relaxed yet sophisticated rooftop venue that specializes in creative tapas and cocktails. While there aren't many vegan options available, my wife thoroughly enjoyed the raw shrimp ceviche and the delicious patatas bravas, along with the spicy pineapple margaritas, which were a hit as well. The service was exceptional; Joshlyn was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the food and drinks. I even assumed he was the owner because the service was so outstanding. I highly recommend asking for him when you visit. It's a fantastic spot for a date night!"

"Came to Denver for fun last weekend, and this was our splurge meal for the trip. I loved the area that Acorn was in part of a larger building and collective think stylish coffee shops and small vendors. We were able to get a same day (albeit, late) reservation for 8:45pm on a Friday evening. We were seated quickly but service was very slow. Maybe 10 15 minutes in between each check in, like our order of drinks and then our order of food. With the pace aside, we really enjoyed our meal. Presentation is gorgeous and the dishes were very tasty. Here 's what we ordered for 2 people to share: Kale Apple Salad Wagyu Beef Tartare (a must get) Mussels Clams (and extra bread for dipping) Jimmy Red Grits Pistachio Diplomat for dessert Kale Apple salad was chopped finely and seasoned very well. Odd and tough chewy bits were removed, and each thin sliver was coated in an even layer of tart vinaigrette. Definitely pricey for such a simple and petite salad, but this was one of my favorite dishes because it was light and straightforward. Now, my favorite dish, was definitely the Wagyu Tartare. Stunning presentation, very fresh meat, and salty and tasty. Mussels and Clams were good, I feel like this is always such a hit or miss at restaurants, and I would say it 's prepared pretty well here. Broth was savory and we followed our server 's recommendation for ordering an extra plate of bread to dip. The toasty bread actually stood out to me the most our server explained that the pieces are swiped with saffron. Jimmy red grits came in an unassuming small bowl of what looked like gravy. Hardly any texture, flat top, no curb appeal. But the flavor was so rich and decadent. Pretty cheesy and honestly made my stomach hurt it 's a heavy one. Pistachio dessert really was not a fan of this one. It 's a lemon cake made with rose water that was a bit too floral and nauseatingly sweet for my taste. Dunked in a thick green pistachio cream, cake underneath was slightly stale and crummy. I would recommend trying a different dessert. All in all, a bit pricey (cocktails are around the $16 range), but a fun experience. We were there for almost 2 hours. Love the decor and the music."

"I'm sorry this place went downhill. The food was always simple and easy to recreate at home, but it is away from dishes that you would take care of on a stylish friend Casual Dinner Party to things you would get from a home cook that really does not care about food: a mezze plate of Bland Hummus with blunt carrot sticks, a muddy mixture of overcooked quinoa and soggy vegetables with cans chickpebs etc. I've never written a review about a restaurant, but that was really disappointing. And the service was indifferent to irritating."

"This place is awful. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS PLACE. The service was appallingly bad, the help appeared to be confused as to how to do their jobs, the food was served barely warm, and the portions were laughingly small. were on a bus trip which included lunch here. When we arrived at around 2pm, the place was nearly empty. Our group of 11 picked a table and sat down. In short order, we were asked to move to another table for no apparent reason. After moving and waiting for service, my wife asked a passing waitress if she could take our drink order. Reluctantly, she agreed. When asked, we were told that we could not order beer or liquor. They next brought out two baskets of rolls eight rolls for 11 people. There were no bread plates on the table, so people were breaking their rolls on the table. Ugh! We each had a small salad, which had been placed on the table before we arrived. After eating the salad, other tables began to fill up. Almost immediately, the waitstaff began taking their orders. Each of us had a card noting our pre chosen orders, chicken or salmon. A waiter eventually took our orders. Shortly after that, waiters brought alcoholic drinks to other tables, and started serving them their meals, even though they arrived after us. My wife reached her breaking point and asked a passing waitress why we waiting for our orders when others who arrived after us were receiving theirs. The waitress began a lame explanation, which we had no desire to hear. Minutes later, a waiter appeared with my wife's order. At least another ten minutes elapsed before the rest of us, except one received our lunches. Finally, a waitress was wandering around with a meal and a person to give it to. As she walked past us, we had to yell to her that it belonged to the last person in our group. The food was barely warm when it was served andThey must have used a melon baller to serve the mashed potatoes. It was obvious that neither the management nor the help could care less about service. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone."

"The food was disgusting, we returned 6 out of 7 appetizers that were served to us. The poor quality meat is poorly cooked and has a bad taste. They calculated every last cent of the bill. Shame should give them the lousy customer service and the lousy quality of the food with the years they have on the market !!!!! I will never return and I would not recommend it to my worst enemy. Expensive and lousy in every way"

"Without a doubt, this is the best addition to the Northshore! Everything has been thoughtfully designed, creating a perfect atmosphere. The decor, ambiance, food, drinks, and wine list are all exceptional. They’ve managed to fill a large restaurant while keeping the noise level low enough for easy conversation. The bar is spacious and inviting, with a selection of interesting drinks. The menu is innovative and features spectacular flavor combinations. The crabcake was the best I’ve ever tasted, and that’s saying a lot since they’re my favorite. The wine list is intriguing and includes a great variety from around the world with a focus on small-production options. Service is outstanding—attentive, friendly, and professional. One word of caution: you will likely overindulge, so consider yourself warned! The desserts are stunning, so be sure to save some space. They also have a few private rooms for larger parties. Parking is convenient in the private lot. It may be on the pricier side, but truly, this is one of the rare places that offers a culinary experience well worth every penny!"

"I had made a reservation for 7:30. It was my son's birthday. We also stayed at the River Crab hotel there . We were seated at 7:45 At 8:05 No one still had come to.our table. Had to ask for water and 8:15 a boy brought us water and said he would send over a waitress. 8:30 still no waitress Got up and told the hostess to please send a waitress. 8 :40 still no one. Every waitress passed out table like we were not even there. I.was so upset that we got up and left the restaurant and went somewhere else.to eat. There were 4 of us and my son's birthday was totally ruined!!!!!. I have never in my life treated so poorly at a restaurant. I will be sure to tell my friends of the horrible service we received. NO EXCUSE FOR THIS KIND OF SERVICE!!!!!!!!!"

"Great food, casual atmosphere ... perfect for a family in town dinner. This place was recommended by my boyfriend who also joined us .... figured why not try for NYC Restaurant Week! Teh food was amazing and where restaurants usually cut their portions slightly for Restaurant Week, CRAVE did not! Each plate was of substantial size and absolutely delicious. We had the Calamari, Fish Tacos, Lobster Thai Curry, Shrimp Black Ink Spaghetti, Salmon and Seabass. To end our meal, we all had Magnolia Bakery's Banana Bread Pudding ... WOW!!! The only issue we had was that CRAVE was very busy and therefore, we waited long for our waitress to take our orders. However, once the orders were in que, they came fairly promptly. Overall, a good experience and value."

"We were late for our reservation, but Chuck's kindly held the table for us. Tableside Caesar salad was amazing. Our mains were bit of a wait, but before we could complain, our server apologized and they appeared shortly after. Amazing food and portions were well suited. Our steaks were perfectly done! Due to the small delay in our mains, manager sent over a sinful skor Sundae that although we were much too full for, we devoured. Excellent service and kudos to management for staying on top of service."

"Cocktails were very well done, the food was very tasty, and the server was very friendly. However, my girlfriend and I both got food poising. We called into the restaurant to let them know, but were quickly dismissed. The staff member who picked up the phone was obviously not interested in hearing our issue, quickly shoeing us off of the phone and not taking our contact info before hanging up. A disappointing experience, and would definitely think twice about going back. UPDATE: The manager reached out and apologized for our experience. She assured to us that she holds the restaurant and staff to a higher standard than what we experienced, and she encouraged us to give Epulo another chance by giving us a generous gift card (a very kind gesture). Although our first experience was subpar, management seems on top of things and is very professional. We will certainly be giving Epulo another try, after which I will update this review again. For the time being, I am updating my rating to 4 stars due to such a positive experience with management."

"The restaurant has a beautiful setting and is very convenient for a pre-show meal, but the prices seem to be based more on the location rather than the quality of the food. Some dishes were standout, such as the fresh ricotta and tasty truffle fries, while others like the prawns and carpaccio were good but lacked complexity. On the other hand, some dishes fell short, such as the poorly executed grilled peaches that were hard, unripe, and barely grilled. The lobster mac and cheese was also somewhat disappointing."

"We enjoyed the guacamole and salsa. The medium guacamole and it was fairly spicy. Each person ordered a different kind of enchiladas and tacos and then we traded around so that everyone could try several kinds. We were severed quickly which would be good for people who have an evening engagement. Our only complaint was that it was quick noisy which made it difficult to hear each other at our table."

"During my trip to the area for a wedding, I stayed at the Nobu Hotel just a block away and was in search of a good dinner spot nearby. Luckily, I found seating available inside the restaurant, as a large corporate event was taking up the patio area. I was excited to try this place, and I wasn’t disappointed—the food was genuinely delicious. The convenience of paying for my meal via my phone and having it delivered to my table made the experience even better. I started with a large, flavorful meatball, which was one of the best I've had in quite some time. For my main dish, I chose the Mother’s Day Pizza topped with spicy vodka sauce, Burrata, and onions, and it was fantastic. The pizza vanished quickly, and I finished off my meal with a cappuccino. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I would definitely come back the next time I'm in town."

"Took my parents here for dinner after visiting the Farmers Market. I live in Stockton and they live in Modesto. My girlfriend an I have been visiting Lodi a lot lately and we have been raving about some of the great places downtown for food and drink. Decided to check out Fenix based on reviews. At first the service was great, exactly what we were expecting, we ordered a couple of appetizers and salads to start, we than had our main entrees and that's when all of a sudden the service just stopped. For some reason the water in our glasses stopped coming and we had to finish entrees with no water, we then waited forever to get any service to box up our left overs. My girlfriend had to suggest to the server that we would like desert, to which we waited forever again to receive, again finishing with no water or drinks offered. Meanwhile we watched as the Chef or owner walked to all the tables around ours, asking how people were enjoying their food and if everything was satisfying. Hmm Very curious. It was like all of a sudden we were outcast. We dress decent not extravagant. We spare no money when it comes to food. We usually only drink water at home or out to eat because that's just who we are. It's not uncommon for us to spend $300-$400 when we go out to eat as a family. We enjoy great food and extremely appreciate good customer service. Well as I said, for some reason our service just dropped off after we received our entrees. Literally no water in our glasses from half way through until we left after dinner. When the server finally brought our desert, my mother tried to ask her for another desert to go because she really wanted to try it, when she tried to get the servers attention to ask, the server just walked away ignoring her. Well needless to say that had an impact on gratuity. We always appreciate our servers and the rest of the staff at restaurants we visit. We always expect to leave 20% and higher. However, this sever received 12%. It really bums us out more than them. We like to show appreciation but we also like to be appreciated as customers. After all, we don't have to buy your food at your establishment. Our money is just as good as anyone's. The food was great, very good, that's why even though we were full, we wanted some things to go. The service however was lacking for some reason. The hostess was great, but for some reason we got brushed off by the server and girl who was bringing water and bread. It was especially insulting when the chef or owner decided to cater to customers asking about their experience and quality of food to every table around us accept ours. Oh well, I guess there are other places to eat. You know, people really like to pay for good food, and get really excited when they find a place that everything they try on the menu is so great you want to order something to go after a dinner with appetizers, entrees, and desert. But people really appreciate customer service and being generally recognized and appreciated like anyone. No matter how great food is, customer service attitude can kill a business!!"
