    We went for our first time, for our anniversary, and from the valet to the waiters to the gentleman in charge, we felt like royalty. We were seated up front and had a lovely card on our table wishing us well on our special day. The music was relaxing and the perfect level for dinner. The food, all vegetarian choices for us, was outstanding. Milk buns are a must. Mushroom Linguine and Crispy Quinoa with vegetables and a side of roasted carrots, all to die for. Our tequila drinks were also amazing. The sorbet topped off the incredible meal. We will definitely be back sooner than later.

    I had a great experience at Ardor. I felt the food was presented very well and was delicious. I noticed the restaurant was very quiet for a Friday evening. We must have been only one of four tables inside the dining room. I would also encourage the staff to have better descriptions of the signature cocktails. We ordered a few after hearing our server’s description and found them to be very different than what was described. Other than that, it was a great meal!
