Had a wonderful time and enjoyed the show. We were a little disappointed that we were not in the main dining room due to another event booking that reserved the whole room. The restaurant probably should have let us know ahead of time as much of the experience is the ambience and the alternative room is nice but not the same. Also, we did not realize a lot of the experience would include a dance party for guests. My family would have worn different clothes and shoes had we known this. We thought we were just going to watch a show after eating. Would go back, better prepared!

Food is absolutely fantastic here. I have always enjoyed anything I have ever ordered. Service is top-notch and does not seem impacted by any labor issues. Attached Fuel Room is a great venue to see live music. Highly recommend!

Food was delicious. We had the chicken kabob and the beef kabob as well as the hummus app and the baked cheese desert. Service was good and the atmosphere was eclectic but not over done. We will come back again.

Great ambiance and the music was so good! Perfect Valentine’s/galentines Day place! Great wine selection. Food was good but not enough bread/crackers/veggies for the dips

District Seventy8 was great. The drinks was affordable and very good. The food was chef's kiss. They give you great portions as well. One of the owners came and spoke to us, which was great. Customer service was outstanding. Ken was our waiter and he gave us an amazing experience. So happy to have this restaurant downtown. I will be back soon.

This is my third time here, the food is amazing, this last time I went with a group of friends and they loved it… Maybe some more options in white wine will be good, other than that is a fantastic place.

You can't beat this place for pizza and fries. We had a Sunnyside Pizza, a cheese pizza, and a pepperoni pizza. We also shared the table frites and a beet salad. Everything was great. The wine and beer selections and value are top notch. Our server was really great. We used to eat at Bar Cento, so I am glad to see similar dishes in a totally beautifully redesigned restaurant.
