Nada has expanded to Columbus, Indianapolis, Nashville, and their first east coast installment in North Bethesda, MD.

    My expectations were exceeded. I had only been to Jeff Ruby’s one other time at another location and it was not a good experience, so I was pleasantly surprised by how good the experience was. The food was really good. This was the first time in over a year we have visited a steakhouse and they got the order right. The steak was cooked to perfection! The sushi was good and the drinks were excellent. Most importantly the serving was excellent. The location I visited before has terrible service, so I was expecting the same. This was not the case. Very friendly and professional staff! Looking forward to dining here again in the very near future.

    Our experience at Sotto was fantastic. We had heard really good things about this restaurant and it lived up to every single one of them. The staff and service was incredible, very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food was outstanding and bursting with flavor. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was perfect for a date night and we had a really great time. We’ll definitely be visiting Sotto again.

    The fish was very good and the wee portion is just right. Jack, our server, was friendly but professional. We weren’t rushed allowed to sit a bit before our show.

    Had dinner before a Broadway show at the Aronoff with my daughter. We had the Mexico City Ceviche, the Baja Style Tacos and the Pork Al Pastor tacos. Everything was delicious and our server was extremely attentive keeping our drinks filled. She made sure that we got to the show on time even after we were running behind due to a traffic jam.

    My husband and I celebrated our 32 yr anniversary with a special dinner @ Boca. Cameron was our server. He was kind, courteous & gave us great suggestions. The food was delicious and planned perfectly to get us to the play at the Arnoff in a timely manner. The restaurant is beautiful and had great ambiance. The desk even stored our special anniversary flowers for us while at the play. Even though the restaurant was closed after the show, Seth was sure we were able to retrieve them after. Well done Boca!
