    Clearly has the most unique Mexican menu with a ton of variety you’ll ever experience. The support staff give you water as well as lots of chips and 2 types of salsa right away. Food quality is very good. Yet my lobster tostadas were not too flavorful. Their temperature was not hot neither, and extremely high priced for just two tostadas. My girlfriend enjoyed her dish very much. Offered excellent variety of margaritas. Both of ours were very flavorful. I got the North Shore. Our server was excellent. Yet, took awhile to get out margaritas. The kitchen delivers all food to table and took them forever to give us our tortilla soups. And he first brought them to the wrong table. I had to wave him down. Overall we enjoy going to Authentico, and we’ll go back.

    Thassos always delivers exceptional service, no matter the occasion. The staff is attentive, friendly, and goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. Every dish I've tried has been fantastic, bursting with flavor and crafted with care. Whether you're indulging in their savory entrees or delicious appetizers, Thassos consistently serves up culinary perfection. Highly recommend the Lamb Chops and the Bone-in Ribeye.

    What a wonderful new Korean restaurant. The food is almost exactly what you would get in Korea. The staff is extremely friendly. The restaurant is very clean with a great ambiance. The food was absolutely delicious and we will be going back again and again. It is a bit on the pricy side for a family of 4 but it was 100% worth it. We will go back without the kids next time. My family couldn’t wait to eat so the pictures aren’t a representation of the presentation. They were beautifully presented before we started to dig in! Delicious!
