    We were greeted and seated promptly. Our server Tori came over and introduced herself and asked if we wanted to start with any drinks, she noticed we were waiting for 2 more guests to arrive. Tori was very attentive, once all guests were at the table, our meal was flawless. Our tzatziki appetizers was delicious, 2 people had the short rib cappatavi, which was cooked perfectly, 2 people had the 2 flatbread also delicious! Tori had great recommendations for cocktails which did not disappoint. The Lavender Lemoncello Martini was so good! There was live music the night we were there which was very nice. The only negative was that overall the restaurant was very loud- other than that, service and food was excellent!

    618 NEVER disappoints. One of our favorite restaurants, food is always delicious and service is excellent. We had the pleasure of Bri’s service last night, and she was absolutely wonderful. We shared with her that our son was leaving for a trip to Scotland in the morning and that he is a Harry Potter fan. When our dessert arrived, it had what appeared to be an edible printed wafer of three Harry Potter characters on the plate. Such a nice touch, it’s all of those details that the staff here makes happen that make this our favorite place to dine.

    Our time at the Hidden Flask was nothing but memorable. The ambiance is amazing, the drinks are delicious, and staff is so charming. We had the pleasure of meeting J, one of the servers. So funny and on top of everything. The owners are wonderful as well. When we went, they had live music playing, so we were able to let loose for the evening. Definitely try the lychee shot if you can, it's divine.
