   We had mixed feelings about the experience. Unfortunately, by 7:30 PM, many of the entree options were already unavailable, which was disappointing. The service also left a lot to be desired—our waitress seemed unfamiliar with the wine list and appeared confused when we ordered drinks. On a positive note, the food arrived incredibly quickly, but it almost felt as though we were being rushed out. The speed of service was impressive & it was cozy and very cute inside. They had a band and they were great too!

   new holidays menu is a dramatic elevation. The chocolate cake feels like a warm embrace, and perfect finish after the steak with Brussels sprouts. The new bartender deserves a standing ovation – their Old Fashioneds are a solid 10/10.

   We had a great experience at 1920! The ambiance and decor were beautiful and inviting right down to every detail on the table and candles glowing throughout the space. We went on a Saturday night to see live music and we were seated at a lovely booth in the piano bar area for dinner. The menu is simple and we enjoyed the burger, the steak and a delicious wedge salad. We were very well taken care of by the owner and his wife as well as our kind server. The entertainment was fabulous and we had a great night. Can’t wait to return!

   Love it, the vibe is cosmopolitant, nostalgic, quirky, elegant with real candles and real flowers and a terrific playlist and menu. Parking was a little bit odd, but we figured it out.

   The decor of the restaurant was superb, the food, Malbec & service by Natalia were great. I had the NY Steak & my Wife the Salmon. Great 1st impressions for sure. We met the owner and he was very kind.

   Made reservations for Thursday steak night special. We walked in and the staff looked confused and didn't know how to seat us. The service was incredibly slow. We waited probably 20 minutes for our server to come greet us, another 20 for our salad course, only for our bland and overcooked steak to come while we're taking the first bites of the salad. The red wine was stale and ice cold. We also asked for the check early and had to chase down staff at the bar for another 30 minutes just to be able to pay. We didn't even get the dessert at that point. We just really wanted to leave. Incredibly understaffed. We were also sat in the piano bar section. The booths and tables were nearly touching each other so you are elbow to elbow with other guests. The music was incredibly too loud, having to shout at each other across a table. It's unfortunate because when we went a few weeks prior on a Saturday night, the service was great. The restaurant was empty but they had multiple servers on the floor. Now this time on a Thursday where they are marketing a premium experience there was one server for the entire floor. Will not be returning...

   This restaurant is absolutely gorgeous inside. We loved our meal. I just got a simple pasta dish with tomatoes and olive oil but it was done to perfection. The lamb meatballs were delicious. We will definitely be back again soon.

   We have been several times but it has been a while. The menu has changed. I ordered the balsamic chicken and would never order it again. It was very dry and just not good. My husband went with the broccoli rabe and sausage pasta which was ok. The wine is good but a bit pricey at $15 a glass for house cabernet.

    Always a terrific welcome back to this place with warm light of tall candles and refresh on their menu. Will be back soon.
