Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Another wonderful experience at 618, this time to celebrate one of our children’s 5th wedding anniversary. I am pointing that out because they did a nice job of making them feel special. Our server, Christine went above and beyond. There was a happy anniversary card...on the table when we arrived and many other details throughout the evening including sparkler candles. Dinner and cocktails were all excellent. One of the stand outs was the Cacio e Pepe pasta. Appetizers Pork belly Meatballs Artichokes Fried Maine lobster Cacio e Pepe Entrees Halibut Chicken Milanese Berkshire Pork Chop Dessert Chunky Monkey Sundae Raspberry cheesecake Blood orange sorbet We had a wonderful evening at 618. The restaurant can get a bit loud but just go with the flow and enjoy. A complete package of delicious food, good service and a cool ambiance.More

Excellent food and ambiance. Very tastefully decorated. Last time we dined there, it was 5 years ago and they improved a lot since. Service was impeccable, dishes were very nicely presented. Cocktails were unique and creative. Surprisingly restaurant wasn't overpriced based on what they offer,...compare to other high end restaurants in the area ( like Il Nido as an example). We will definitely be back.More

The potato appetizer is the best appetizer I have ever had. The drinks are amazing. Everyone who works here is professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I am gluten free and there are lots of options. Highly recommend.

Outstanding food, great ambience, and the decor is beautiful. What a romantic setting. We went here because Open Table ranked it top 100 and they didn’t disappoint. Waitress was superb too. Lobster to start and a great Filet! Lots of cocktails to choose from too....Finished off with a pistachio martini which has a beautiful taste. We will go back!More

This was my hubby’s choice for his birthday dinner. It was our first time at 618 but certainly won’t be our last. The restaurant is quite spacious and beautifully done. There are decorative, lit trees surrounded by flowers throughout the space. It definitely has a...vibe and is very popular- making a destination visit. Our server, Rick, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the food. Service was very good. Appetizers Pea soup Shrimp Saganaki Entrees Beef short ribs Berkshire pork chop Dessert Olive oil cake w pistachio Sticky toffee cake Food was excellent as well as our overall experience. 618 is worth the hype.More

We had our wedding reception at 618 this past Friday and everything was absolutely perfect! The Maitre D’ managers, staff, bartenders went above and beyond to ensure our special night was one to remember. The food was delicious from the cocktail hour all the way...to to the incredible desserts and ice cream station that we decided to have and it was a huge hit. All of our guests continue to say how incredible the venue, service, and food was. The room was decorated so beautifully and everything I asked for, was done without hesitation. If you want a night to remember and to be accommodated with every request, look no further than 618!More

Service was on the slow side, entrees were just average , skirt steak was not a good cut of meat. Drinks were very over priced.

I hosted my husband's suprise 40th birthday in the Oak Room at 618 on 9/3/23. They were so easy to work with in the planning stages. They provided so much information and coordination via email, phone calls, and were very flexible with dates for final...review. Both Jessica's very pleasant to work with and very knowledgeable about their menus and all features offered by the hall. The day of the event, the hostess was very happy to play along and accommodate all our requests to make sure the suprise happened accordingly. Now I can not say enough amazing things about our lead server June and two other serves. June and Patricia were so kind and pleasant. By the end of the experience I felt like June was part of my actual family! She was honestly so attentive and just the sweetest person ever. The food was AMAZING as it always is at 618! The dessert bar also exceeded all of my expectations. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning any type of event. The ombionce there in itself is beautiful. I would rate this a 100000 out of 10 of you asked me. Book here! You will not be disappointed!More

Crazy crowded but we’ll managed so even busy we were seated and quickly met our waitress. Parking was a big issue but luckily the nearby store was closed and created overflow parking. Good bar and beer choices. Our entrees included included halibut and scallops, the...fish was good but scallops served with rice and beans was strange…and just four scallops! A bit too noisy as well.More
