    618 Restaurant never disappoints and truly feels like a home away from home every time we visit. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and consistently paired with top notch food, drinks, and service. What makes our experience especially exceptional is our server, Mike M. He goes above and beyond every single time we dine there. Mike knows exactly what I like, what I don’t like, and always makes us feel genuinely cared for and remembered. He is incredibly attentive to our table without ever being overbearing, and his manners and professionalism are absolutely outstanding. One detail that really stood out during our last visit was the personalized top of my martini — such a thoughtful touch that made the experience feel extra special. He also took amazing care of both my daughter and my mother, making sure everyone at the table felt comfortable and appreciated throughout the meal. Mike M. is truly above average in every way and a huge asset to 618 Restaurant. Exceptional service like his is rare to find, and it’s one of the many reasons we continue coming back. Highly recommend!

    First time visiting Falcone and loved the ambiance. What a surprise to walk into such a beautiful room! Our server was fun and engaging and the food superb. That was one of the best halibut dishes I've ever had and I'm already planning another visit. Thank you for a wonderful evening!
