Insider Pages Reviews for Friends Restaurant
Went here for lunch with some friends. Atmosphere is very nice and more on the fancy side. I had the classic french dip and it was excellent. The prices are kind of high, but sometimes it is worth it when you get a great meal.

The place looked really nice. They did a great job with making the place look new and like a modern resturant. Everything we ordered had way too much sauce on it.

Best Fillet Mignon E've ever had
by jnowsley
The waitstaff went all out for us i went here on a first date so i asked them to have a rose waiting for me which they found me the most beautiful rose i've ever seen which really set the mood for the evening. The waitress was fantastic full of energy, attentive and curtious. also the food was plated with great care the only flaw was that they pu a flower on the plate which is a basic plating flaw as mopst chefs should know you never garnish with something that is not edible. but all in all i was very impressed and look forward to visiting them again.
Pros: service, ambience, food, full bar, willing to go the extra mile
Cons: garnish
