This was our second time dining at Books & Records. The first time was on a busier week night and with the close tables and live music it had a liveliness to it but not super conducive for quiet conversation. This time we visited on a Sunday evening and it was quiet and we had great table conversation. Both times our food was excellent (we love the brussel sprouts and the chicken bao buns). This time we also got the tuna crudo and it was delicious. Service is attentive and our server was kind.

I am a long time, repeat customer. Food, service and ambience are always perfect. We love sitting in the bar lounge, listening to live music.

Food and service were AMAZING!! Our waitress was super sweet and friendly. Presentation was immaculate. Definitely not a place I can afford to go too often, but it’s worth the splurge once in a while. Can’t wait to go back.

The host and waiters/waitresses were extremely attentive. The food was 10/10. The noise was a little louder than I would have preferred but the staff was amazing and educated about the food and drinks! The portions were perfect and the price is very good!

Such an enjoyable evening at Il Sogno! Delicious food, awesome cocktails, and beautiful live piano music. The branzino was a highlight, and the music created a romantic, relaxed atmosphere where we could still enjoy a conversation. A lovely spot for date night, a birthday celebration, or a ladies’ night out!

This was an amazing place in both food and experience. The decorations were beautiful. The dim lights were perfect and the service was amazing. If I could, I would go here every week!

    Location-perfect Ambience-perfect Service-perfection Food-OMG... especially the lobster mac and cheese, the Oysters Rockerfeller, the twin lobster tails and the New York strip Oscar and the fries fried in beef tallow and and and.....😳 also, we were gonna order their butter cake; come to find out they had gifted that to us for our anniversary!! This cake is just unfairly delicious. The size alone is what EVERY desert cake should be in every fine dining restaurant. The taste of the butter cake. No wonder it's their headline desert. Like what was this restaurant thinking? How do they get every cake perfect?!! We will DEFINITELY be back for the above reasons and more. Eat here. Do yourselves the favor and eat here. Indulge because you work hard and should reward YOU. Here is the place to do it--excellent service, beautiful views and delicious food/drinks. ✊🏾✊🏾
