This restaurant really has it all…great food, awesome vibe, beautifully decorated and my favorite piece is that everyone is unbelievably nice. It’s a 45 min ride for me which I’m not a huge fan of, but I keep finding my way back there. A must try!

A great dining experience. James was our sever and did an outstanding job. The cocktails are always spectacular and they are always adding new ones. James recommended a few apps and some dinner specials that all hit the mark. Always consistent food and service at 618

Food was phenomenal as always. Jordan our waiter was fantastic he was very attentive and gave us great recommendations for our meals. We had the Branzino which was cooked perfectly and Cabernet short rib which was so tender and tasteful. The white cosmo and pistachio martini was out of this world just wished they were in a normal sized martini glass not a tiny weeny glass. Thank you Jordan for a memorable evening.

It can get noisy, but the service, complements of Rick, were fabulous. This was the second time dining here and the food was just as fabulous as the first time. Will definitely return. Definitely get the brussel sprouts.
