What an exceptional experience! The flavors were perfection with each course. So skillfully crafted- subtle yet crisp and flavorful. We LOVED our waiter- he’s been there 3.5 years and just a dream of A+ service. We will be back very soon!!

We were very pleased with the taste, appearance, and quality of the food, and the service was exceptional. We never felt rushed, yet the servers were always ready to clear the table and check in on us. We will definitely be going back and would wholeheartedly recommend CTZN for a great night out with exceptional food and service.

Last night was our first experience at Wormwood. Kyle was our waiter and he was fantastic in advising us on his favorites, the items that have been on the menu since Wormwood opened, and even being honest on things he would not recommend (drinks). He had great recommendations for absinthe, which I had never tried and which I ultimately appreciated because I will definitely be back to try more. We started with the fresh "de la mer" oysters, which were really the only negative thing I have to say about our experience. Perhaps they just weren't our style but we regularly order oysters and these just didn't taste good. To start, they weren't cold; more room temperature, which sets the wrong tone when you put an oyster in your mouth. They also had a funky taste. I typically like BC oysters, so I'm not sure what that was due to. The gambas, however, made up for the oysters; they were delicious and we licked up every last inch of the sauce with the bread that it comes with. We then had the onion tart, which is a staple of Woodworm. It was phenomenal. We were getting full so we then split the short ribs, which were fantastic. We look forward to going back, trying another variety of absinthe, and more options on the menu. Next time, I hope we are able to sit on the patio. My reservation was for the patio, but when we arrived, we were told there was a private party and thus, we couldn't be seated out there. While I understand, the restaurant probably should not have made the patio reservation available, as it may have changed where I chose to eat. Last night was a beautiful evening and we really wanted to sit outdoors for dinner. Finding out that wasn't an option when we arrived wasn't ideal.

This is the perfect place to go before a show. They have plates that you can share with a group, or just order for yourself. The food is yummy. Nice selection. Love the staff and the fact that it's family owned and operated.

    Mister A’s had a lovely atmosphere with peaceful energy, the staff was cheerful and involved, the view was beautiful, drinks were excellent, and the food was truly outstanding in every way. This was one of the most delicious meals I’ve ever enjoyed, from the wagyu tartare to the braised short ribs to the creative toffee popcorn tres leches dessert. This was an absolute top tier dining experience in every way, highly recommend.
