    The poor service overshadowed the entire experience. We had three servers working (jointly) our table and the handful of tables around us, which was the first red flag. It took at least 30min before they took our order, none knew what the others were doing, they asked if wanted our check before our entrees arrived, and disappeared for chunks of time…the is went on and on. The food was mediocre at best. Definitely won’t be back.

    We have dined here on numerous occasions and 16 Prospect never disappoints. The food, atmosphere and service are always above par. Highly recommend.

    Awful!! We were seated and after 20 minutes waiting with no server, I requested from somebody within earshot to retrieve our server. The woman replied “what do you need?” How about everything!! A welcome, menus, our drink order. She was rude and not interested in creating a dining experience befitting a birthday celebration. Shame on this establishment for employing such apathetic and incompetent service.

    We always have a lovely time at this restaurant. We sit in the back where it is a little quieter and we can chat. The staff is always so welcoming and friendly and they never rush us. The food is always excellent. A great place to wind down from the week and have a romantic dinner. The front area has live music and a lot more activity so you can choose how you want your experience to be and they deliver that well.
