We had an awesome time. From hostess to our servers, they all were great. We had three appetizers, three entrees and two desserts. They described each one perfectly. We had wine and coffee with our meal and they both were delicious. We definitely would go back again.

It’s quite telling when the bread service was the highlight of the meal. We’ve been to Restaurant August several times over the years. The preparation of some excellent proteins has gone over the top! Our entrees were barely lukewarm and so heavily sauced and overworked they were barely recognizable.

Where do I start. We went to celebrate our anniversary. The staff was beyond gracious and service was spectacular. The only reason I am giving two stars. We did the tasting menu. The food was over-imagined. Several very small bites that didn't even serve as a full dinner. The last dinner course the waygu beef was served slightly below rare. Inedible for us. One of us is a voracious eater that loves everything. Three of the bites that were inedible in our opinion. To top it off, we left hungry. The wine pairing was uninspired. We selected the premium wine. Not one wine that was served had more than 4.1 stars. We were each served a total of maybe three glasses among the tasting The restaurant was beautiful. The room LOUD. We couldn't hear each other. Even the server apologized for the noise. The price? That's what threw us over the edge. $805 for a tasting with a wine pairing. We left hungry and $350 for three glasses of MID wine? Nope. We left completely disappointed celebrating 30 years. $1000 with tip for the experience, 0/10 do not recommend.
