The food tasted very good. The noise level made carrying on a conversation difficult. The service and table attentiveness was poor for a restaurant of this price point.

The ambiance of this restaurant is truly its strong suit—warm lighting, tasteful decor, and an inviting atmosphere that makes it a great place to linger and enjoy a meal. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food arrived hot and fresh, clearly made to order. That said, the menu leans heavily on deep-frying. While everything was crispy and well-executed, it felt like almost every dish relied on batter, breading, or some form of frying on top of frying. A little contrast would have gone a long way—some dishes that let the ingredients speak for themselves, without an extra layer of crunch, would have provided balance and highlighted the freshness of the food. For those who love fried food, this place certainly delivers. But a few lighter options would make an already enjoyable meal even better.

We arrived for our reservation and we’re met and sat right away, the service was absolutely excellent and the food matched. This is our second time at Next for Sunday Brunch, we have now decided we would like to reserve for an evening dinner …… We would recommend this restaurant to all willing to try something a little bit different and a time that is so enjoyable.

We usually choose NeXT for our special occasion meals, because you definitely get more than what you pay for and not having to go downtown is the best bonus! Also, the variety offered for the tasting menus keeps things interesting and everything is always delicious!
