Everything was excellent from start to finish: food, service, drinks… Creative dishes and flavors. Everyone in our party loved their meal. Hard to find places like The Consulate that not only use excellent ingredients but offer a unique menu and flavors.

Wow. I can't say enough about how wonderful and amazing AG is. Service and food quality were both in my top 3, globally. (out of hundreds) Sam (brunette) and Johnathan made our anniversary dinner a night to remember. They both treated my wife and I as if we were the most important guests they have ever served. The food quality, taste and presentation was to die for. Thanks for making our 26th wedding anniversary a night to remember! I highly recommend a visit to AG soon.
