    We had a fantastic experience at Amber Road! The Valentine’s prefix menu was absolutely wonderful, with delicious dishes that were thoughtfully prepared. Our server was amazing—attentive, friendly, and made our evening even more enjoyable. The restaurant itself is beautiful, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere perfect for a special night out. The only drawback was the large screens playing sports, which felt out of place and took away from the otherwise sophisticated aesthetic. It would have been nice to fully immerse in the ambiance without that distraction. Overall, a great dining experience, and we’d definitely return!

    This was our fourth visit to the Vermilion Club, I believe, and it has recently become a favorite restaurant of ours. The location is unusual, on the second floor of a large office building in the financial district. Above the large island bar is a gorgeous Chihuly glass sculpture, and the vibe of the place is urban cool yet warm and inviting. The food is excellent…on this visit we had the prime rib and filet mignon, which were tender and flavorful, and the appetizers beforehand were superb as well. The service is always excellent here, professional and efficient without being stuffy. Our server on this visit, Nimi, was exemplary…always there when needed, but not intrusive. She also guided us to a couple menu choices that were perfect. We will definitely be back again, and look forward to seeing the Vermilion Club flourish!
