This was our first time at 618 and if I could give more than 5 stars, I would!! Everything from the service to the food, drinks, and atmosphere was amazing! The decor is beautiful and the whole restaurant has such a warm and welcoming vibe. We went for my boyfriend’s birthday and they had a birthday card on the table and even wrote on his dessert plate. Such a sweet, personal touch! I got the lychee martini and my boyfriend got one of their fall cocktails, both were sooo delicious. We started with the lamb sliders and short rib ravioli, which were SO good and the perfect portions. For dinner, I got the pork chop and genuinely wish I could’ve eaten five more. My boyfriend got the bone-in New York strip special and if he could’ve licked his plate clean, he would have. We loved every second of being there and can’t wait to go back !

The food is always good here and the service is amazing. My waiter was very attentive and provided suggestions for what to try. Seafood boil was very flavorful! Catfish was crispy. 10/10 in my book.
