   We dined at this restaurant when it first opened. It was fresh, energetic, good food, great service. It was none of those things this time around. Let's start with the decor which desperately needs a refresh including painted table tops with major chips and streaks across the paint. Tacky. How about throwing linens on the table tops or repaint them offseason. Our server was unable to have an assuring conversation about a potential food allergy. The food was not extraordinary. We ordered the ahi poke appetizer; dish was under seasoned and fish was not fresh. The chef threw six inedible packing peanut style rice crackers on top of a compressed pile of fish - what about grilling some toast points? Components of other dishes were overly sweet - the puree under the pork chop, carrots on the braised cabbage main. The carrot cake sandwich was still partially frozen when it arrived and difficult to eat. We tried to finish the meal on a nice note with a champagne cocktail only the bar did not have sugar cubes; they poured simple syrup in champagne. It was horrible. Our server should have let us know they did not have the components to make this bar standard. We will not be going back.

   First time and brought loved ones. Marco was charming and attentive. The decor adds so much whimsy and class to the general ambiance. The food was made with obvious attention to detail and presentation. We had an amazing time and before you know it we were almost the last ones out. I so completely recommend this place and hope to make it one of our go to adventures

   We enjoyed the perfectly cooked filet of beef and the waiter was nice enough to serve it with other vegetable choices. The duck breast and sauce was delicious and perfectly cooked. The desserts are huge, but very tasty and worth the calories! Coffee was so-so. I have always had wonderful meals at 849 and recommend it to all my friends!

   Service was spot on. Food was delicious. We had the bass & pork chops both of them were cooked to perfection. Flourless chocolate cake was incredible as was the carrot cake. Plus they had Gray Whale Gin

   The appetizer and entree were not hot enough, but were delicious. Server was not attentive and was hard to find.
