    We have been to Hells Kitchen before, but we went this time for their Hell A Dazzle and it was amazing. I hope they do this every year because now that we know about it we will be back next year in December. The holiday decorations were so cute, the Christmas drinks were delicious and the food as always was amazing. The service has always been superb. Five stars for sure. If you’re looking for a festive meal with great festive ambience this is your place.

    Manny's was fantastic as usual. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary last night and at the end of the meal, they brought us a piece of cake the size of a tube TV on the house. Their customer service is unmatched.

    Our party of four found a lot to love about Milly’s, from the wine pairs and reasonably-priced pours to the many menu options that worked for every kind of dietary restriction to the desserts and dessert wines. The deviled eggs and bacon-wrapped dates were a great way to start, the flatbreads got raves and we wished we had room to try a cheese and charcuterie boards, too! We did get a chocolate board and crème brûlée for dessert. We’ll definitely return!
