    Amazing Christmas dinner. Everything was outstanding, from the greeting by the hostess to the outstanding service by Riley as well as all of the servers that brought the food. The food was incredible, with only one item I didn’t care for, but that was personal taste not quality. An amazing holiday and I plan to do it again.

    All the servers and bartenders and managers were fantastic. The restaurant and entire street corner experienced a bit of electricity issues and there were no hiccups at all. A great Christmas Eve dinner! Thank you for being open!

    It is a rare occasion to have great service these days. Curfew far exceeded my expectations. The staff was so gracious and friendly. I made reservations here for a business meeting on a Friday morning, and it was the perfect location. The noise level was low, the waiter was great, and the manager as well as the chef stopped by our table to make sure everything was to our liking. THIS is how you do customer service. I left a 40percent tip, and I’ve already scheduled another business meeting for this location next week. Bravo to the Curfew staff. Please keep it up!! 🙏🏾
