    What can I say other this is an experience not to be missed. Is it a pit expensive, sure, but some things in life are worth the cost. I have been to several of the more "up scale" places for drinks and sharables and I would rank this to be up with the best of them. Going in the evening for drinks with a special someone makes for a perfect spot. You may feel like it couldn't be a romantic or intimate location as it is in the centre of a lobby yet once seated, the world falls away and it is magical. I was a little hesitant at first when making the reservation as you are required to order the seafood tower ( which i found odd ) but let me tell you.... worth every penny. Again, it is an experience that you will set you back quite a bit but for the special occasion or perfect impressive date night to show someone you really love them..... worth every penny and more.

    Our evening at the Keg was a bookend to our date night. As soon as we entered, the wait staff worked quickly to seat us, despite the fact we were early for our reservation! Our waiter quickly and politely introduced himself, told us of the specials and created a very welcoming feel to the evening. Drinks and appetizers came out very quickly. It was fresh, tasty and very well presented. They say when going to a steakhouse, you order steak. We were not disappointed!! The meals were amazing and the waiter continued to offer excellent service, with witty banter. Cost was certainly reasonable for the level of service and food preparation. For our first time at the Mansion, our out-of-town experience was made incredible. Well done Mansion team!!

    I recently visited Bar Reyna in Yorkville, and I have to say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! First and foremost, the service provided by ABC was outstanding. They were not only friendly but also incredibly attentive and helped us navigate the menu with some fantastic recommendations. We ordered a few dishes to share, and I’m so glad we did! The Lebanese Tacos (especially the chicken ones—don’t miss them!) were absolutely delicious, and the Salmon Tartar was bursting with flavor. The Reyna Salad was also a standout—it was fresh, light, and packed with taste. Everything was served promptly, and the portions were generous enough for two people to share comfortably. If I had to mention one small negative, it would be the seating arrangement. We were seated at the back of the restaurant, which I believe is a patio space in warmer months. While the space heaters above us provided some warmth, by the end of our meal, I couldn’t feel my toes! That said, it didn’t detract too much from the overall experience, and I would definitely recommend Bar Reyna without hesitation—but perhaps save it for the warmer months when the patio is at its best! Overall, I had a wonderful time and can’t wait to return. Thank you, ABC, for your incredible service. I’ll be back when the weather warms up!
