   The host refused to sit me at a four top when I had a reservation. Another server said no problem and had the table cleaned so I could sit down. Several servers passed by after I was seated and never greeted me. It was 4 minutes before Carlos said hello after having passed by me several times. The servers don't introduce themselves and if you're going to take care of me, tell me your name so I know who to ask for when I need something.

   One of THE best Restaurant Week experiences (and deals!) we’ve ever had! All four of us LOVED Evening Star Cafe. For appetizers, the Brussels sprouts my husband ordered were delicious, but the cauliflower was beyond amazing! It was a huge hunk, roasted to perfection and served with two divine sauces: a smooth and creamy pesto and spicy salsa. The appetizers alone have made my husband and I huge fans of Evening Star Cafe in perpetuity! We couldn’t believe that all three of our Scottish salmon entrees with Gigante beans and kale were served piping hot simultaneously! Overwhelmed, at this point by the elevated dining experience, we had no needs or expectations but once again the dessert didn’t disappoint! We all chose the red velvet cake and it was light and moist but the chocolate flourless cake looked like a winner as well! So now we need to go back to try the chocolate flourless cake. From now on we’re going to call it “Evening 5 Star Cafe!”

   Good evening Manya- First off thank you for such a glowing review and offering your insight. We love to hear feedback when it involves n how we can make the customer experience continue to be elevated and at the same time approachable. When it comes to requesting tables at The Evening Star and as you know, we do operate with some limitations of having only four of those two-seater booths. I always let customers know we will always do our best when requested and with enough advance heads up. I am glad that the overall experience was delightful and we hope to see you soon- especially in one of those booths! Take care, Josh Radigan

    The food was excellent and the server was very attentive. A good place for a New Year's Eve dinner.
