    The food is absolutely terrible. It tasted like rubber and was extremely expensive. Cool ambiance and setting but not worth it at all.

    Dear Peter, We’re really sorry to hear the food didn’t meet your expectations. That’s far from the experience we aim to provide. We’d appreciate the chance to make this right—please reach out to our manager through our website or give us a call. The TYF Team

    Absolutely worth the hype, drinks were well balanced and unique. Service was superb. There is live music Thursday through Saturday. We had the Tuna Crudo which was delicious. The decadence in disguise was a very unique drink and worth coming back for again. Definitely going to put this one in our rotation.
    Tell Your FriendsResponded on April 15, 2025
    Dear Christina, We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the drinks, service, and live music! The Tuna Crudo and Decadence in Disguise are two of our favorites, too. Thank you for the kind words—we can't wait to welcome you back soon. The TYF Team

    We absolutely Love the Americano and eat there often. We have had drinks afterwards at Tell Your Friends. This time we made a reservation to dine there with another couple. Although the food is just as delicious, the service is not the same. When you split something and ask for an extra plate they only have small appetizer plates to provide. There is also a completely separate wine list which is very limited. We were also approached by staff many times letting us know that we were nearing our time limit. We have never had that happen at any other restaurant anywhere. In the future we will eat upstairs and maybe go for a drink there afterwards.
    Tell Your FriendsResponded on April 13, 2025
    Dear Denise, Thank you for sharing this thoughtful feedback. We're glad you enjoy The Americano and TYF, though we're sorry your dining experience this time fell short. We’d love a chance to make things right—please feel free to reach out to our manager through our website or give us a call directly. The TYF Team

    Excellent ambiance. I was disappointed there was no jazz band! Just a pianist, he was great but with it was more of a jazz feel!
    Tell Your FriendsResponded on April 15, 2025
    Dear Attusa, We're so glad you enjoyed the ambiance and appreciated the pianist’s performance! We hear you on the jazz vibe and will take that into consideration as we continue to shape our entertainment. Thanks for the feedback—we hope to welcome you back again soon. The TYF Team

    I originally booked standard seating for my party. Without my knowledge, the seating got changed to bar seating. It took a long time to get us seated after we checked in. When we were finally seated, the seating was cramped since we were put at the bar instead of a table. People kept bumping into us due to lack of space. While pricey, food and drinks were okay. The drink was a majority ice. Overall, pretty disappointing. A few friends recommended this place and it was over-hyped.
    Tell Your FriendsResponded on April 7, 2025
    Dear Olivia, We’re truly sorry to hear about the seating mix-up and the delay getting you settled—it’s not the experience we aim to deliver. We appreciate your feedback and would love the chance to make things right. Please reach out to our manager through our website or give us a call. The TYF Team

    We had a great first experience here and look forward to coming back again. We were hoping to overlap with the band but they now start at 8 instead of 7 so that was a bummer but the ambiance, staff, drinks and food more than made up for not experiencing the live music.
    Tell Your FriendsResponded on April 6, 2025
    Dear Todd, We’re so glad you had a great first experience with us! Sorry to hear you missed the band this time—we’ll keep working to make timing and details more clear. Thrilled that the ambiance, team, food, and drinks made it worthwhile. We can't wait to welcome you back again soon! The TYF Team
