    We have dined here about 4 times. The first, several years ago was OK. But the last two times both the food and presentation were outstanding.

    It was a bad night at a place that has been one of our favorites for years. Food I often order did not taste the same. New chef?? Almost no one there but still very slow service. Wine list by the glass had totally changed. Didn’t recognize many of them. I hope it was a one-off.

    Great food, great service. In our party of six, we each tried different drinks and entrees, and were very satisfied with everything that we chose. Dora did a great job of pointing out highlights on the menu.

    The menu has changed, as has the food - it’s simply not the same restaurant and that’s unfortunate

    Housekeeping was polishing the floors next to us. It was super loud and annoying while I was trying to have a business conversation. Also, didn't they used to validate for valet parking?

    It was my first time at narrative. I read the reviews and was excited to try it out for my friends and my birthday dinner. We arrived early for our reservation at 6:30 and were seated immediately. We had Dora as a server, and she was very informative on gluten-free and steered us in the right direction when ordering drinks. Unfortunately, it took about 25 minutes to get our drinks. We got our apps first and the burrata with GF bread and artichoke, which tasted amazing. We put in our food order and finished our apps. The time between the apps and the main course was around 45 minutes. We were genuinely surprised with how long it took to see the portion size. I ordered the short rib, and the flavor was delicious. But it was around three large bites, it was not warm, and there was one singular bok choy on top. Someone else in our group got the filet, and it was underseasoned, and everything tasted burnt. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience. Our server, Dora, seemed to be spread thin, running around the entire floor. She still treated us well.
