618 continues to be our favorite spot! Dined here last night with two friends and had amazing service from Megan J. Our appetizers and entrées were fantastic. We ended the night with a shared dessert and a round of drinks, garnished specially for the holidays. The pistachio martini still reigns supreme for me!

618 is one of our favorite local restaurants. We dine there at least once a month (our waitress, Alexis, told us that we have dined 25 times so far). Alexis, our server, was friendly and helpful. She greeted us with a smile and took our drink order. The meal began with a basket of delicious bread with butter and sea salt. I opted for my favorite cocktail, the Spicy Boi. It's made with Reposado Tequila, Ancho Chile, and passion fruit juice. It has the right mixture of sweet, refreshing, with a spicy kick. We opened our meal by sharing a lobster tostada appetizer from the specials menu. Chunks of lobster tossed with pickled onions, pineapple, queso fresco, served over a crisp tortilla. For entrees my wife had the 8 oz Filet Mignon and I had the Cajun Shrimp and Grits. Both were perfectly cooked. Looking forward to our next visit.

Thank you for making our Christmas Eve a memorable one. And a big thank you to Marc, our server, who was so accommodating and kind, even to our little girls, who said he made the best Shirley Temples they ever had.
