    Excellent. Assistant GM, Brandon, greeted us and periodically checked on our table. Our server, Ben, was attentive and charming. Beautifully warm atmosphere. Such a unique establishment. Cheese plate was tastefully arranged with honey, jam, nuts and several perfect cheeses. Pork belly and Caesar salad were lovely and generous apps while all our entrees were to perfection. We had a bit of a “tasting” assortment of deserts which were well worth the indulgence. Highly recommended for a tasting event, holiday, group or date.

    I cannot say enough good things about our experience at 618 last night! We celebrated my best friend’s bachelorette, and it was truly an unforgettable evening, thanks to the incredible staff and attention to detail. From the moment I made the reservation, the manager, Frankie, called me to see how they could make the bride’s night extra special. And let me tell you, they went above and beyond! When we arrived, there were personalized welcome cards at our table featuring the bride’s theme, which was such a lovely touch. But the highlight was the custom drink they created just for her—complete with a picture of the bride in the drink! She was absolutely stunned and couldn’t stop smiling. It’s rare to feel so taken care of at a restaurant, but 618 truly made us all feel like VIPs. Our waiter, Marc N, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. He made sure we had everything we needed and kept the atmosphere fun and lighthearted throughout the evening. Frankie also stopped by to check on us multiple times and made sure everything was perfect. The service here is truly top-notch! Not only was the food absolutely delicious (I’m still thinking about the dishes we had), but the entire team made the bride feel incredibly special, with everyone offering congratulations throughout the evening. I’m so grateful to everyone at 618 for making this such a memorable celebration. If you’re looking to celebrate a special occasion or just want a phenomenal dining experience, 618 is the place to be!
