    This was our first time dining here. We were accommodated with a large table which was nice. The food was very good quality fir the price. The only thing that was a downer was the temperature as ur was quite chilly I dude and we were sitting near a faux fireplace.

    Unfortunately we did not have a great experience last night. We sat down at 7pm for our reservation and did not get a waiter until we actually asked someone if they were our server at 7:25. We ordered drinks and still did not have them at 7:45. I actually approached the owner and told him we had been there 45 min and still no drinks. The food was delicious and it came out in expected time. We asked for a a glass of wine which we had hoped to enjoy with dinner. 15 min later we had to ask for it again but at this point dinner was pretty much done. I would have hoped the owner would approach us but nothing. We also went for live music which was scheduled at 8 pm and the musician never showed. Not the restaurant’s fault but it was why we chose to eat there with friends. Overall a disappointing dinner.

    My boyfriend and I had the best time at 16 Prospect last night! Joe Regan lead an open mic that was fantastic! I sang along with some amazing vocalists and the place was so festive and lively. It was an awesome night. The food and drinks were delicious. The servers were attentive and cheerful. It was so much fun.

    Bad food, no flavor, super stale bread, olive oil was maybe just vegetable oil and seemed spoiled, servers were nowhere to be found the entire dinner. Just terrible

    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.
