    This has to be one of the most overrated restaurant in the city, mediocre food at best, an ok ambiance but certainly and accurate the worst service in the industry, nothing restaurant wise makes any sense, it took 48 minutes to get our table after the reservation time we were told to wait by the bar but there is no where to wait at it was so overcrowded that it felt like we were in club and not a “restaurant” after we were seated it took another 34 minutes just to get a menu and another 15 to get our drinks, the food it’s OK at best nothing special overly sweet oysters, cold maki and a good crudo, so if you like high quality service and food DON’T GO TO CIEL, the only good service you will get it’s the valet

    I’ve been in the restaurant business for a little over 18 years now and in my time in the industry I’ve always held myself, my staff, and my guest up to the highest standards and respect. I’ve seen people make post about how they were mistreated by restaurant managers upon arrival but never experienced it a day in my life until I managed to come here. Guy was absolutely disgusting and dishonest

    Great service and delicious food! Drinks were amazing, but due to the Valentine’s Day crowd, it took a while to get drinks. Overall an awesome experience and ambient.
