Delicious high-quality food and wonderful service! We’ll definitely be back! The rack of lamb was so tender, I think you could cut through with a butter knife. Absolutely cooked to perfection!

Food was incredible. Service was impeccable with timeliness on serving drinks\starter\entrees as well as clearing the table. Everyone was lovely. We ordered the croquettes, the feature which was halibut and a starter sized short rib risotto (I don't eat a whole lot but my partner still helped me finish my meal). My partner enjoyed the old fashion and I enjoyed the snow-jito. We left there feeling great about the meal we had and look forward to going back sometime

It has been quite a while since we dined at XIX but glad we gave it another try as everything was delicious! We had the new menu item, Lobster Risotto and the Tenderloin steak. Lots of lobster and scallops in the Risotto with a delicious sauce and the steak was done to perfection. Great service as well.

We tried the chef’s special appetizer and it did not disappoint! Our server was super friendly and happy to offer suggestions. Both of our meals were delicious! I would have given 4 3/4 stars if I could.

Everything we ordered was pretty good. Our server mentioned she wasn't going to sing happy birthday but capped it off with a little treat. Service was top notch.

Came here for a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. When we walked in we were greeted with a smile and very friendly host. We made a reservation and were seated as soon as we arrived.
I came with my girlfriend and ordered the risotto and mussels to start with and they were delicious. Risotto was rich and not starchy whatsoever, the beef short rib was very tender and was a great temperature when it arrived to our table. It stayed hot while we ate between the mussels and the risotto. The mussels were also just as good, but I would prefer 3-4 pieces of bread to soak up the sauce the mussels were in. The fries that came along with the mussels were also solid. They weren’t greasy nor starchy and very enjoyable to snack on as we waited for our mains.
I had ordered the aged 10oz picanha and she ordered the balsamic chicken and we received both around the 40 minute mark. Presentation was nice, steak was very tender and a perfectly cooked rare. The crispy artichokes weren’t my thing but my girlfriend loved them although everything else on the plate was delightful. The potato purée was as smooth as I had expected and the flavor was even better than I had anticipated.
The balsamic chicken was cooked to a perfect temperature and was very juicy. The skin was a great crisp and even with the balsamic glaze it did not become soggy whatsoever even til the end of the meal. The crispy brussel sprouts were a favorite and their was a blanket all across the plate which we loved.
The atmosphere was very pleasing and the lighting certainly made the food more appealing. It was very loud inside the restaurant and found that we had to really raise our voices to hear each other and ended up sitting closer to one another.
Overall, it was an amazing dinner and a great experience. I will definitely be coming back soon!

Came here for my birthday dinner and we were not disappointed. Everything from the appetizers to the mocktail, to the entrees and dessert were excellent. The service was incredible. The only downside was that it was very loud. We came for a romantic date night and almost had to yell at each other to be heard. There was a large party of women celebrating a birthday though and was of no fault of the establishment.
Excellent food, excellent service.
