618 did a fantastic job helping us celebrate our 10 year anniversary. They made us feel very special. The waiter Jonathan B was attentive and very helpful when we asked questions about the menu. The food was amazing and our dessert / drinks were very impressive. My wife loved the pistachio martini and I very much enjoyed the pork chop. Great experience would recommend.

This place is beautifully done, with great service, and our server - Alexis - was fabulous. Cocktails served creatively but the food was way below average, Pear stuffed pasta was watery and bland. For us it was not worth the money spent.

Jonathan was our server. He did a great job of giving our dining experience some flare. He also made sure to mention how we were celebrating my best friend’s birthday, and tell her happy birthday.

James P our waiter was very attentive and provided excellent service. The food was very good and the drinks and food came out in a timely manner. Overall we had a great experience with our service and the quality of the food. Only negative was the valet service. Not the attendants fault he really hustled but seemed like there was only one attendant on duty. Smokers were also right near the valet pickup which was not pleasant.

It took me a month to get a reservation. Well worth the wait and did NOT disappoint. The detail in the decor for the holiday season was impeccable. The speciality cocktails were absolutely delicious and presentation of the “nice list” bourbon drink was so unique. The waiter, Dan P, brought it out in a book. Yes a book. lol. The food was spot on. My lady and I had the potato spuds, mini artichokes and burrata salad appetizers. Craving them already. I had the short ribs and my lady had the halibut. Absolutely mouth watering. Now, back to the waiter, Dan P, he was absolutely amazing. Attentive, funny, knowledgeable of the menu and a true gentleman. When I go back I’ll request him to wait on us again. Thank you for such a great dining experience.
