    I enjoyed my Christmas dinner at Makoto. I was running a little late but when I arrived they were willing to sit me immediately. I had a reservation but wanted to sit at the bar. Antonio is amazing with customer service. When he wasn’t around the other bartender Michelle was checking in on me. Even when I appeared to need help, a Manager (Cindy) stopped and ask me did I need anything make my experience better. Happy Holidays!! I will be back to see them. Food: Crab baked Handroll - 10 out of 10! I had two. Chicken gyozas or potstickers (not sure) 9 out of 10 (I thought they would be fried) Rock Shrimp - 9 out of 10 (a dipping sauce will make them perfect) Chicken Ramen - 7 out of 10 (it’s good but somethings missing in the flavor) I’m just working my way through the menu but I will definitely be back. Again and Again!

    The mansion does not fail! It was beautiful like always! Great food and the staff (servers) were very very sweet. Especially our one server. The girls at the front can look a bit unfriendly, to the point that makes you a bit unwelcome but overall it was a beautiful Christmas Day at the Versace mansion. Maybe a little renovation on the chairs would be good too. It is price friendly (kinda) so in my opinion, the furniture should reflect the “luxury” look. At least a good cleanup. The food was really good, we had the spaghetti with lobster.. the burrata was amazing.. drinks pretty good.. no complaints at all! Thank you for making our Christmas 2025 beautiful all the way from Canada!

    We had an incredible experience at Milos on Christmas Eve! The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcomed. The ambience was perfect, with a warm and elegant atmosphere that made the meal even more special. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend Milos to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!

    I have been to Stubborn Seed many times since learning about it two years ago. As excellent and noteworthy as the menu and service have typically been, last night was a step beyond. Literally, every item in the menu was interesting, beautifully presented, and having wonderful contrasts and subtleties. Really, a sublime experience.
