My partner and I had an amazing time with beyond exceptional service from our server Chris(The gentleman with glasses and long hair). He provided all of our needs and catered to my girlfriend’s allergies, explained the items in the menu, then provided the best espresso martini in the city as he stated hahah!! This was our 2nd time at ilili and the service was top tier twice in a row. Kudos to the front door staff, waiters, bartenders and chefs. You all are doing great work. And another shoutout to Chris, thanks for the dessert brother, we truly appreciated it all!! 15/10 ✨ Best, Anthony Rivera

Our party of 6 (that included 2 kids) had an amazing time at Serra! The restaurant is beautiful and the ambiance is so peaceful and calm! Our waitress Katharin was phenomenal, she was so personable and gave us amazing service! I’m so happy we chose this restaurant for our dinner!

Hawksmoor can be a little frenetic and noisy at dinner — nothing wrong with that! And the bar area is always quieter. But for the main dining room, I prefer going for lunch. They have a $25 lunch special that includes their famous rump steak and a side, but I went for the $45 option. I got the beet salad in a yogurt dressing, which was delicious, and the rump steak with fries (chips) and side salad. The steak was nicely charred on the outside and pink in the middle — a tad salty, but still quite tasty. And of course I got the Hawksmoor Martini, with Ford's Gin, which was served ice cold with olives on the side. A hell of an accompaniment! The room is beautiful and the service was friendly and efficient. I'd recommend the company too, but I'm not sure my dining companion would want to go here with everyone who reads this.

Delicious dinner on New Year’s Day! We had 3 pasta dishes & 1 pizza for the 4 of us. All dishes were fantastic.

looked busy but sufficient staffs worked to take care of customers and have great communication. I think most of restaurants have a shortage of staffs though. Food is always amazing, I recommend oysters and smith burger and matcha latte.
