The ambiance is nice and interior decorations are clean; cute for a date. Food is basically modern American Mexican. Steak (fajitas pretty much) was dry and chewy but the bone marrow appetizer was scrumptious.
I've been to this restaurant several years ago and found that their food menu has changed quite drastically from before. There seems to be less Asian dishes and more Western dishes like pastas and salads. I'm really glad they kept their drinks menu the same as The ReBel cocktail was just as delicious as I remembered. If you like sweeter drinks, definitely try that one! Service was really slow the night we were there (a Friday night) and we waited for about an hour before any food came out (including appetizers) and with no wait staff in sight to check in with us. We had to look for and ask a waiter for bread while waiting for our food and thought that was the least they could do (in fact, they should have offered that without us having to flag them down and ask for it). But when the bill came, it turned out they charged us for the bread ???? The food looked and tasted good for the most part, except the pasta dishes were really bland. The decor was beautiful and the ambiance was nice and upscale. Too bad wait time was too long, service was subpar (for the price we were paying) and some of the food was a bit flavorless. I'll just come back for The ReBel cocktail and not bother with food there next time.
Excellent place! Delicious food. Amazing wine list and great selection of crafted cocktails. The dining area is nice but does get loud with large groups. I highly recommend. The only complaint is we felt rushed. We were still eating dinner when we were given our dessert menu. Otherwise service was excellent.
The drinks are great, but the food is alright. Needs an update or something new, especially the happy hour. Maybe a monthly special? Bartenders, management, host, all the workers essentially are really cool people. A nice place to chill out after work. Highly recommend the French Knickerbocker!
Great food, great cocktails, and great environment. Easily transitioned from a celebratory work event to cocktails and full service dinner. Helpful staff that take care of all concerns. I look forward to coming here again.
