Crispy fried Brussels sprouts tossed with a touch of salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon for a savory and tangy delight.

"I stayed at the attached Hampton hotel on business and was looking for a great dinner where I could dine alone. I was told by the desk to try this restaurant. I walked in and was astounded at how beautiful the restaurant and bar were, it was during the Christmas season. I was given a corner table by the hostess which I loved. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant and was impressed by the menu (I have worked or consulted for some very high restaurants/retailers in Manhattan). I had a waitress, if I'm correct her name was Amy. She came off as very professional but in some ways sweet. She was a great waitress. She brought me my order perfectly timed from my cocktail to my wine to my appetizer to the entree and to the dessert. I knew I picked the right place when I ordered a Negroni and it was perfectly made. I had a great salad but I was most impressed by the cassoulet. I've eaten in Paris, Montreal, NYC etc. and it was probably the best cassoulet I have ever had. It was delicious! Everything else was also very good including my chocolate dessert. Unfortunately my espresso was poorly made. The flavor was there but not the technique. After my meal I felt so comfortable that I decided to stay a bit longer and asked Amy if the restaurant carried Amaro. She didn't know what they were and the bartender Peter immediately came to my table and explained what he had. To my surprise he had Amaro Lucano, a spirit from my wife's small town in Italy. Very hard to find. The bar has an awesome menu of wine, spirits and beers. He gave me the drink on the house and recommended that I try one of his drinks called a Boulevardier. It was excellent. Most importantly Peter was very professional and maybe because of my being in the food business too, he told me about the restaurant and gave me a tour. I totally felt his passion about his job which was great to see! Anyway he was a great bartender. In short, I totally loved this restaurant from its ambiance to its menu to its staff. Wish it were in NYC. Can't wait to go back!"

"Literally the BEST crab cakes in the world. I cannot stress just how amazing Seastar's crab cakes are. I've been going to this location since they opened at the Civica building. (I worked for the company that built Civica...so yeah, going since day 1 Chef Howie is so focused on delivering an amazing dining experience. What else is good? Their oysters are always top notch. The spicy tuna roll? I get one every time I go, along with the crab cakes. The sourdough crab and cheddar sandwich? To die for! I just had the tri-tip the other day. It was cooked perfectly. The cioppino is perfect for our cold rainy days. If I had to complain about anything with the tri-tip, I would have liked more than what I got : but I can say that about nearly every single thing I have tried there. They are all so good, it doesn't matter how full you are. You always want more. Be sure to have desert while you're there... the coconut cream pie is amazing, and huge too. Make sure you have someone to share it with, or plan on having a to go box because that's one item you do get enough of!"

"Service in the bar area is very good and they take care to make great drinks. I take issue with the main restaurant and food. Automatic 20% service charges can backfire, as they do at Seastar. Service was sub-par and for a $400 meal, we expected not to have to flag our server down to order. The food is expensive and the kitchen hammered the shrimp and salmon. Do not ask for temperature on salmon, then bring it out overcooked and dry. The risotto was broken overcooked as well. Their sushi maki were prepared well and fresh."

"It was my fiancée's birthday and everything was great. Our server was very timely with our drinks, appetizers and main entrée. I did note that it was a special occasion when I made the reservation and we could feel that our server was catering to our needs. Ensuring that our experience at Seastar was wonderful. We've been there several times and the service is always great, but tonight it was even better"

"we were so on tonight and the restaurant, just to enjoy everything. our waitress was at the beginning good, knowledgeable and timely. To achieve the problem, they have different employees supply the meal times and allegedly the main waiter staff checked back when the meal times are delivered. one of our meals was not what was ordered, and even though we told the waiting staff several times, he left the wrong eating at our table. we waited too long until someone gets the meal until the waitress starts to look at the table while he told my man that he begins to eat his meal. we finally stopped a waiting staff that didn't even wait for our table. he immediately took the meal and we waited again. while my man desperately tried to eat slowly. what caused the friction between us because I thought we were eating together. Finally, our waitress returned, told us that the meals were delivered to the wrong table, although a meal was right. explain that the other meal was prepared, but it will take a little time. you have to ask who has eaten? When the meal(s) were delivered, they brought my men also second meal plate. if we ask ourselves if we want to take it. unfortunately we went to the theater and couldn't eat with us. then the manager was involved and apologised, the waitress apologised and I ate very quickly not really enjoy my meal or this experience. they finished my meal they would have done anyway. will we go back? will we recommend? to both, but not immediately."

"Great place to get out of the doldrums on a winter Friday night. Enjoyed our meal cocktails. Great wine spirits list. Kung pao octopus was good as was the duck breast. Didn’t love the winter Caesar because kale doesn’t work raw without some acid to break it down. Our cheesecake was a bit burned. More than “on purpose”."

"You can find everything for a perfect brunch here on Sundays . The daily donut was hands down the best donut I’ve eaten to date.. and the pom 75 paired perfectly with the chicken sandwich. Don’t get me started on the breakfast potatoes.. I could talk about them for hours. -Already planning my next trip. Thank you Marina for the wonderful service"

"Great service, excellent food, good price, and good meal timing if you’re looking for somewhere to eat before a show. Variety Menu has slot to offer if you’re not sure what you’re in the mood for. Easy for myself, and my two teenage daughters who range in the high end of teenage year to low end to choose from the menu with no problems. A+, food is always excellent when I dine here. I am never disappointed."

"This is the second time I visited this restaurant. And the food was better than the first time I visited. My husband and I had a wonderful time, we were treated very well and our server was very courteous and attentive. By the way, he had extremely beautiful tattoos!!"

"I like to live a lot close to perbacco, they often go there. yesterday evening we sat outside so that the noise emission will not be relevant to many; in the inner it is very loud. overall the meal was great. but I have a complaint. the caesar salad I often had was very moderate. very, very small, not attractive plated, inadequately dressed, which I would expect from a random north beach Italian restaurant. it has not ruined the meal, but it was a surprise of a restaurant of perbacco quality."

"Though the food was delicious and the service initially started off great, we eventually felt completely forgotten about as the only inside table that evening. Our water refills became few and far in between, and an hour went by before we were able to put in our entree order after having waiting over 30 minutes for our appetizers. Our overall all dinner took 3 hours for only 2 people, and it would've only had to take 2 if the service had been more diligent."

"We had a reservation for a group of 10 during fall fest. Reasonably- they had a modified menu offered. The price points on everything is out of control, the spaghetti tasted like a school lunch, the Mac and cheese was extremely salty both uneaten. The $11 stuffed banana pepper was ONE pepper in a pool of spaghetti sauce. The waiter was good when he was around however clearly over sat because he didn’t even have time to check on the table and we spent hundreds of dollars on inedible food. Our reservation was not even sat all at one table- when we had made it weeks in advanced. You’d think at an average price point of $25-40 an entree we wouldn’t be sitting at a foldable table, in separate groups, with inedible food. I wouldn’t recommend anything."

"It's a beautiful place! We have two craft drinks and appetizers and two meals. The drinks and the app were good, but the most important meals were very boring. There was no salt or pepper that would have helped, but the meal was a disappointment. Our bill was $100, but I think if we were back, it would be just for drinks."

"The restaurant stopped using open table but never bothered to tell us. We arranged for three different baby sitters for our kids (3 couples were reserved for dinner), drove there and valet parked only to find out that they didn’t have a reservation for us. I asked them if they carried over the reservations and they said they did but not ours. I asked why they didn’t reach out to me (I put in my number for that reason) and the manager barked at me “how could I if we aren’t using that system”. Horrible management with very little regard for their customers."

"WE ordered the warm burrata , it was cold on one side . The toast points were under the cheese on one side and we had to ask for crackers. The duck was cooked well but needed some sauce to give it more character. personal opinion) I asked for onions and olives in my martini... no sour onions, told by waiter, only olives with no centers on a straw.. never seen this before. The waiter was fine and attentive."

"trio grill is a modern American restaurant with a large open dining room, a great service and some very good food. first, I appreciate any place that can serve hot, not stale brot and room temperature butter. this always sets the ton for a good meal. I mean, if a place can't get it right. the cocktail list is kreatiw and includes many handmade options. to the luck uber fetch her off. to begin the thunfischtare that is bigeye (or bluefin) thunfisch, soy, ingwer, gurke, sesame oil, crispy wintons, on a bed of avocado. that was light, crunchy and refreshing. very good. the arancini, hand-rolled risotto balls, with spicy sausage, aged provolone and fontina, with a basil...read more"

"Food is really good, creative, well prepared. Apparently they are understaffed. We had a 5:00 reservation, arrived a little early, were waited on promptly and ordered drinks and an entree. Shortly there after our server changed, no problem until at 5:45 we ordered dessert and at 6:20 (we have to leave at 6:30 for a concert) no dessert and no server. I actually had to get up and walk over to her to cancel dessert and ask for the check. She offered to box our desserts, but we were in a parking garage where the dessert with icecream would not fare well sitting in the garage for 2+ hours. So the first half of dinner was gr8, then it deteriorated fast. The entrees were fabulous, might give it another try in the future?"

"Waiter was rude from the every beginning . We had a 945 reservation . We showed up at 945. We weâre seated and I stayed at the table while the rest of my party went to wash their hands . The waiter came to the table and told me the kitchen was closing and I should order our food and drinks for the people washing their hands . I was appalled . I said I would like to wait for them to wash their hands and look at the menu and the waiter gave me a huge attitude . Then he proceeded to rush us through our meal literally telling us to hurry up and bringing the food out almost all together . As we were leaving he told us to be becareful because Lexington was a scary place after a certain time. It was before 1045 pm because he had rushed us through a meal in less then an hour. It made no sense and none of us could understood what he meant by this comment . We were in town for business and this restaurant was highly recommended by a friend . We had planned to eat at this restaurant at least 2 more times in the week were visiting . I will never eat at this restaurant again. Totally unprofessional and miserable experience ."

"We have dined here over 150 times, so this is obviously one of our most favorite places to go. I usually sit at the bar with Kevin, Austin, Carlos and Autumn behind the bar always making exceptional drinks. The food is always incredible and I appreciate the flavors the chef puts together. If you want a great burger, you can only go two nights of the week and not on the weekends. The tuna tartare and such fat fries are a staple to any meal. There is also a private dining room we have used from time to time for larger parties that has exceptional service. Can get busy during happy hour but I have never had to wait very long for a couple seats. Parking can be a challenge but valet is back in service."
