   District 36 has a nice patio setting for outdoor dining in good weather. It would be nice to see a bit more variety on the menu - especially in the appetizer/soup category.

   District 36 is absolutely my favorite for lunch or dinner. Every server I have had is knowledgeable about the menu and very accommodating. The food and presentation are awesome! Never an embarrassment to bring friends who have never been to District 36. I know the food will be fresh and delicious. Thank you, thank you!

   Back room lacks ambience. Hot app (Kung Pao calamari best thing we had) was served but we were not given plates. Finally got up to ask someone and was told that there were not any plates available! They were being washed. Weird. Finally got plates but unfortunately my side salad was then served on a warm plate! It is all in the details!!

   Food and service was good but the four of us set in a booth and the noise level was so loud that you could only convese with the person next to you and not across the table. So every person in the place had to speak loud so that made it worse. Previously we enjoyed a lunch where the noise level was acceptable and we would recommend that, but not an evening outing.

   Food was below par. Prime rib special was a very tough cut of meat. Chicken Brussels, Brussel sprouts not cooked properly, unable to eat.

   Nice place to eat, service was excellent. Food was good but didn't blow my wife and I away. Drinks menu was somewhat limited.

    1st visit! Nice surprise! Been going to another seafood place nearby for years, thought we'd try District 36. Lobster stuffed devil eggs = fantastic!; seafood bisque = extremely tasty! Salmon BLT - wonderful, couldn't finish all, took 1/2 home, salmon was seasoned well, thick, good; Frutti Di Mare Pasta was excellent tasting! Dessert Candy Bar Pie = all good, great oreo crust! Service excellent, server extremely •Knowledgeable about the menu, appreciated his suggestions. Will definitely return next time in town.
