We were excited to try out this restaurant, especially for the ambiance for Valentine's month and 618 did not disappoint. The place was beautiful and there was something to look at in every corner. Aside from the decor and mood, the other main highlight of the evening was our server Brenden. His personality, attentiveness and recommendations were impeccable. When we come for dinner again I would request to be seated in his area. The food was very good but the cocktails were shining stars - very different, delicious and you can tell created by mixologists. I have seen some reviews stating it was loud. Yes, there was a DJ the evening we visited but I thought the noise level was fine; it was not overpowering. The place was packed so you have to expect a certain level of noise but it was not intolerable, it was lively!

First time dining at 618 and was very satisfied. Nick was our server and he was very pleasant, efficient and attentive. The food runners were also very good. We decided to order the February price fix meal since it gave us a broad selection of appetizers, salad and entrees to try. It also included a dessert. I thought the selections were very good and portions were plentiful. My only criticism was the temperature of the food was not hot enough. It may have had something to do with the menu selection and number of courses needed to be prepared and I suspect the timing on preparation was off. If it were ice cold I would have respectfully asked for my server to have it heated but I let it pass since the taste and quality was excellent. I would definitely return.
