SUR Restaurant & Lounge

Not Worth the time spent to travel and eat.
From the moment we sat our server didn’t seem like they cared to be there.

None of the food or drinks we got, were as described and romanticized by the server. From the short ribs to the branzino - it was good but not amazing or worth it.

Taste of the dishes & the service was mediocre.

The best part was probably our usual espresso martini, and the brownie that was rock hard.

The server who took over at the end & the Brussels sprouts made the experience worth it - hence the 1 star. If i could give 0 stars i would.

We went there to celebrate a milestone - reservations made months in advance, with the expectation that it would top a beautiful weekend. It ended up being flat. The decor is tasteful and eclectic, especially the interesting chandeliers. The food is palatable, but not memorable, which may account for the darker than needed lighting - if you can’t see your food your expectations are lower. The drinks were not great - they were pretty to look at, but not great. The noise level made it impossible to not add to it by talking more loudly in order to be heard over the other noise. Our server was nice, and friendly (this is a plus, which is why 3 stars are given instead of two).
Overall, it did not live up to all of the hype we had heard.

Overall good experience, but not a 5 yet.

Starting with waiting at the bar…They took forever checking my ID because I’m from out of town. The manager came out to ask me what’s the problem and I’m like I have no idea I’m just trying to order a drink.

Eventually got my drink and it was not bad. Nothing out of the world but pretty to look at. They had a cute outdoor garden area to wait.

Our table was ready right at our reservation time. Had a cute outdoor corner table and there were enough heaters everywhere so it felt warm!

The fried goat cheese balls were really good and seemed to come out fresh. Loved the chimchurri dip with the bread! The Joe’s fettuccine was really tasty - although the sauce was thinner than we expected it to be but still tasted 💯. The real showstopper was the braised beef short rib which came out perfectly. It was cooked to perfection and sooo tender. Finished every bite and wanted more!

Overall service was fine too. It seems like couple servers work an area so you can always find someone. They regularly checked on us for more drinks and provided recommendations.

Delayed and then cancelled flight in LA the wife knew exactly where to go. Overall a great experience. Close parking in the garage, a great happy hour menu and great appetizers, entrees desserts and drinks.

Chicken Picatta : 7/10 : it was great in flavor, but it was a bit cold.
Fettuccine : 7/10: although it was Alfredo style, it needed more creaminess it tasted more buttery if anything the butter overtook the flavor of the actual dish.
Dumplings : 8/10 they tasted great but nothing spicy at all haha

Food took about 20 mins and did not come very hot. I'm assuming they brought everything out at the same time for that reason causing some food to be sitting getting cold.

Parking is super packed on the street. You can find parking for 15$ all day in the front of the restaurant

Booked dinner tonight for a surprise to my Bravo fan girlfriend so I came in very open. I don’t watch the show myself so this was just for dining. Bravo is only Top Chef for me but she watches all the others religiously. Parking in this area is very hard, your only options are paid metered parking (hardest to find), a pay lot, or valet for $20. We arrived a few minutes early for our 7PM dinner, but were redirected to the lounge to wait for our table. 18 mins later our table was ready, but even though I made reservations 3.5 weeks ago they took us to the front table, outside, that was on a serious slant. The entire table was tilting to the left and the music was pulsing and very loud, think club atmosphere, so it was at this time I realized this isn’t fine dining or about the food, but more for the lounge scene. We saw multiple different bachelorette party groups arrive and enter with sashes declaring their roles, which made for great people watching and I believe are the true target clientele.

I started off with the summer soup, which was a Strawberry Gazpacho and it was a bit tart with lots of large pieces of mint in it, but still very fresh and I did enjoy it overall. We followed it up with the Fried Goat Cheese Balls due to it being their signature starter but they were changed to four, bite sized pieces and not the small golf ball size pieces that are in the other pictures. It reminded me of a cocktail party hors d’oeuvre. Next came the Lamb Pappardelle that was sadly undercooked and had way too much mint. Mint again! The Pappardelle noodle was very chewy and being half Italian my Mom taught me all about al dente and cook times for pasta. I would give this dish a 3/5 I was actually disappointed. Based on this we decided to pass on dessert to avoid future disappointment.

Overall I was happy to take her here so she could experience it, but this won’t be somewhere I will be repeating. I don’t feel it’s a good fit for a business meal due to the layout and noise volume and personally I would want a food centered restaurant for an anniversary or birthday meal.

We went here for brunch and very much enjoyed the food. Lost one star due to how long the food took to come to our table. We waited over an hour and they did provide us a free shot to take with Peter but that's not enough for me.

Had dinner for daughter 21st birthday, everything was great. Incredible service (manager Peter served us and was very kind), amazing food (Sea bass and goat cheese balls especially) and fantastic drinks
Beautiful design, peaceful atmosphere
Wonderful experience

I’ve always wanted to go here but the experience was so much more than I had hoped for. Amazing atmosphere and very romantic. Service was above and beyond and couldn’t had asked for better dinner and drinks. I had to get the spicy margarita!! So good!!!

We ordered medium steak and it came out rare. We told them about it and try he just threw it back into the grill to cook. Disappointing! The service was slow! Took 2 hours to get all our food. Overpriced and not worth it. The hype is just from the show.
