    Went for an anniversary dinner with my bf. We had a really great and attentive waiter. Food was great as well. The one thing that threw me off was the choice of plates. The plates gave a very casual vibe for what is to be a fine dining experience. It seems small but given the price point, I expect a nicer presentation and plate. Despite this, I’d definitely go back and sit at the bar. Drinks were amazing and we enjoyed the vibe!

    Our waiter to Tavrion was prompt and very professional and he definitely catered to all of our needs. I do agree with a lot of of these other reviews that the previous menu was better so I hope that they take heed and revamp the menu but however the service was top-tier. The ambience was beautiful. The lounge was very good and accommodating, and I had a lovely time for my birthday

    I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my graduation at Thirteen, and it was an unforgettable experience! This gem offers a delightful fusion of Pan-Asian and American cuisine. Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The shrimp eggrolls and spinach crab dip were the perfect starters, full of flavor and beautifully presented. The highlight of the meal was the teriyaki salmon, which was cooked to perfection, and the lemon drop cocktails were the ideal refreshing accompaniment. Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The service at Thirteen was outstanding. Our server was incredibly helpful and friendly, making sure our party of 11 was well taken care of throughout the evening. Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The decor and ambiance of Thirteen added to the overall experience, creating a stylish and comfortable atmosphere. After dinner, we headed downstairs to the nightclub, which was a fantastic way to continue the celebration. The vibe was energetic, and everyone in our group enjoyed themselves immensely. Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thirteen is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food, excellent service, and a great atmosphere. It's the perfect spot for special occasions or a night out with friends. I can't wait to visit again!

    Such amazing service, and the food is to die for. Absolutely incredible food. However the menu was drastically different from what we saw online (went from more Texas style to Asian fusion) and we were literally the only table in the whole restaurant for the entire 2 hours we were there. It’s kind of a club scene, which we didn’t expect, but didn’t bother us since we were the only ones there. Not sure I’d go back, due to the club scene, but the food is worth it.
