    We had a great experience at Sur. The food, drinks and ambience were amazing. Highly recommend the Pumptini and Fried Goat Cheese Balls. Braised short ribs with the lobster and butter mashed potatoes was to die for… As a Vanderpump Rules fan we were excited just to be there and then everything was better than our expectations. Also cool to see Guillermo and Peter there who were both very attentive to the customers.

    The plants throughout and staffs uniforms give the entire place a warm earthy vibe. We dined for valentines, and each plate was thoughtfully put together. From the amuse to dessert, each plate was perfect in portion and mouthfeel. My favorite was the beet agnolotti, which surprised and delighted me with a dehydrated beet crunch. My partner’s favorite dish was the main course steak, which featured a savory and craveable truffle sauce. Our special mention goes to the beefsteak tomato milk bread. The buttery crunch of the edge pieces left me wanting another to take home. Our server was perfectly attentive and always timely with our drinks. It was a truly wonderful experience and I will be recommending to friends.
