    Our dining experience was very pleasant at Martinis, the food is always fantastic, with many gluten-free options,. Our server was very slow, forgot to bring soy sauce as requested for the meal as well as left us sitting for about 30 minutes before bringing the bill.

    This place never disappoints - brought some work colleagues and they were equally impressed, especially with Whitney - our bartender. Definitely a 5 star experience!

    I am a regular customer at Charcoal, visiting 3 times a month or more. I have never had a terrible meal, however my meal tonight was sub par as I expect an amazing meal every single time. My meal was lukewarm, bordering on cold. The plate it is served on is usually at least warm to the touch and was cold tonight.
