Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in University City

It was my friends birthday and the entire team at O-Ku made her feel extra special. The host, the busers, wait staff, etc everyone said happy birthday…it was even on the menu. And they brought a birthday dish that was delicious, South End Shrimp, order it!!! Also they were out of her favorite roll (potato roll) bc they have to roll it before shift it is so intricate, we were bummed but moved on everything was so good. Towards the end of the meal they brought out a potato roll they rolled especially for us! Amazing! I rarely give words reviews but Mayling and team were awesome. Thank you!!

The food, service, and ambiance of church and union were all outstanding! The food was delicious and definitely of great value.

Jordan was an excellent server. Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Atmosphere such a unique, fun experience. Food was chef’s kiss!

Staff was great. Truly great. The rooms are a little loud when multiple tables are set. The outside area looked very nice. The appetizers and salads were extremely good. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the burger with fries. The shrimp and grits were OK at best. We only ate half of the burgers. The fries were on point.

I wish it was informed by the restaurant staff ahead that preferred quite time schedules are post 9:00pm. We came in at 7:00 pm on Wednesday and the all the tables were full with clients which is great for the business but it was pretty noisy. It was so noisy that Chinese Buffet noise level was much elegantly elevated compared to what I experienced at Fahrenheit that night. People come here to have a romantic date/anniversary and high level meetings. Unfortunately I couldn’t feel such elegancy vibe during our visit due to the high noise level by the other tables around. Maybe having a classical music in background can help to let people know to calm it down bit
