   We wanted to try out the restaurant and its concept . Conceptually they adhere to the show and its basic premise. The crew yelled out as a group it seemed on the 1/2 hour . And they did their jobs . Our service was great but not transparent. We were taken back by all the extras costs - our water offered came at a cost, the specials offered came at an Extreem cost - and the service fee at the end of 20% was a shock .- I will have to blame myself for that as I didn’t read the fine print on the reservation . I would like to mention - the “lobster” risotto and the special lobster Mac and cheese did not taste or look like lobster - it resembled and tasted more like a prawn. The beef Wellington according to my husband was way undercooked - however my braised short rib was excellent- the potatoes disaster under it were soggy and for lack of a better word icky. Dinner was an expensive experience . We will not return ot recommend as the value was not there for what was served.

   I took one star off regarding one of the host that was very rude to my boyfriend and I . She had a really not pleasant face and a whole attitude when we first walked in .Also did not greet us even if we did greet her with all the respect and the love .For her description she had dreadlocks and was an African American black ladies and worked yesterday on pm shift 2/27/25 same time when we came from dinner.Other than that , our service was great . Our servers had a very cute Italian accent and were very nice with us food and drinks were amazing ❤️.

   I took my Mom to Hell’s Kitchen for dinner last night to celebrate her birthday weekend. Overall - highly recommend checking them out! Especially for a special occasion. Here’s my breakdown: Ambience - The restaurant itself is beautiful, there is a lovely lounge area downstairs that creates a great atmosphere for conversation while waiting for the table to be ready, and the upstairs dining area is equally beautiful. And of course the views are gorgeous being right on the water. Ask for a table by the windows. Service - We were greeted with friendly faces as soon as we arrived and our server was also very nice. Unfortunately, it was so busy and it didn’t seem like she was able to check in with us as often as she probably should have. We only had one drink and we were never asked if we wanted another. But honestly, I was more focused on the food lol. Drinks - My Mom and I both ordered the Fujiwharra Effect which is a rum drink. And it was subpar. It almost tasted like a mocktail rather than an alcoholic beverage. It was very gingery and didn’t taste like any liquor was in it at all. We didn’t get an opportunity to get another drink so we just had water the rest of the night. Food - Amazing! Literally everything we had was absolutely delicious. My Mom had the braised short rib which was so tender and flavorful. I had the salmon and oh my goodness - so good. We shared the brussel sprouts and the mac n cheese (note-our meals came with sides but we wanted to try out the other options). Both sides we got were so good. A must try for sure. I will definitely be coming back to try other items on the menu. Dessert - I can’t recall the name of the cheesecake that we ordered but it was lemon and blueberry based. It was sooooo good. Very creamy texture and delicious flavor. They were also nice enough to bring out a small birthday cake for my Mom which was also really good. I think it might have been their toffee dessert.

   Just an incredible experience from start to finish. Our waiter August provided incredible service, the food was incredible, and we even got complimentary champagne to celebrate our anniversary. 10/10

   The wait staff was impeccable however the food was a bit over seasoned (salty) and the 20% service charge even before applying the tip for the wait staff was overzealous…. Not a fan of the excessive charges

    Food was not worth the prices. I've had much better fine dining meals for $400 (before tip) for 2 people than I had at Hell's Kitchen. Even ordered their signature dishes. Shame. I was really looking forward to it.
