We were celebrating a birthday dinner at AG and had a wonderful experience. Since this is a restaurant affiliated with a higher end hotel, we certainly had expectations that it would be a good experience. The food was excellent, but what truly makes the experience is the service. Our server, Vangel, was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. He was outstanding and we enjoyed the entire experience.

Had a great time celebrating my birthday with friends. We had a 10 person table and our server did great. The donuts are all amazing, and everyone was happy with their food. I got the crab toast and thought it was just OK though. Not a ton of crab and very hard and messy to eat
