8/10 experience - was celebrating something special and felt it wasn’t acknowledged, and the tables on the patio were dirty from the moment I sat down until I left. The food was amazing, per usual. The waiter, Zamien, was probably the best sever I’ve had in years. Can’t wait to come back soon!

Everything was outstanding: food, service, ambience, just fantastic. Special app duck sliders, amazing; green curry seafood, incredible, lamb chops, creative and delish, and the special NY strip was 10/10 per husband who is usually somewhat disappointed by restaurant steaks. I was looking for a unique to take my mom for her birthday. She’s lived here for more than 50 years and has been to a zillion restaurants, but not this one. She loved it. We were all raving and would recommend it without hesitation!

You can never go wrong with Sotto Sotto. Unless of course they run out of pistachio gelato, then you just go back when it’s back!!

Love Serena !!! Been going there since they first opened and it always delivers and NEVER disappoints !!! Service is Superb -- Food is Fabulous !!! Plenty of Favorite Dishes that are always a Step - Above !!! And must share, their Cocktail Menu is Incredibly Special and is always filled with New Creations and Fun Surprises !!! Took some church/work colleagues to celebrate the end of a work day and they both loved it and were still talking about it this morning --- now that's 5-STARS without hesitation !!! That was the first thing I heard about this morning and our server basically created one dish based on simply listening to my friend and what he enjoys .....and BAM!!! There was a fantastic creation that was not on the menu but totally tailored to his taste buds and it was complete enjoyment from the time the plate hit the table to it being "almost licked clean" -- tempting as it was !!!

We came for my husband's birthday. Upon arrival, they handed him a birthday card signed by all of the staff! What a nice touch! Multiple people stopped by the table to wish him happy birthday as well. The cocktails were DELICIOUS, the apps came out quickly, and the entrees were to die for. We ordered the Japanese maple and espresso martini, the skewers, queso and wonton chips, the chicken tacos, and the thai noodles salad (which was massive and even tastier for lunch the next day). We will be back for sure.

Brunch on a Monday at T’s Brunch was a win! The service was great, and the music was on point. Started with the fried green tomatoes and the beignets with peach compote, which were a standout. The oxtail and grits definitely lived up to the hype, and the vegan hash was solid too. The portions were generous, we even brought home leftovers. We skipped drinks this time, but that espresso martini definitely caught my eye. We’ll be back!
