This was our first visit to this restaurant. I dined with a party of six and we had a nice booth. It is a small restaurant so tables are close together. It’s also music themed so the music is a little loud and it’s hard to have a conversation in the restaurant. The positives; the service was outstanding and the food we ordered was excellent. I highly recommend the brie appetizer and the deviled eggs I would consider the negatives to be the noise level, temperature in the restaurant(it was extremely warm) and It’s also a very... read more

This place is such a cool experience. The ambiance is great for a laid back vibe. The cocktails were refreshingly different and our service was quick with very attentive wait staff. The only reason I rated it a 4 overall was the portion size of my entree. I ordered the short ribs with butternut squash risotto, which was delicious! I was just disappointed that it looked like there was only one big spoonful of the risotto (maybe 8-10 bites total?) and my bone in short rib only had 5 bites of actually meat on it. Other than tha... read more

I’ve been looking for a place like The Pretender for years, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the moment my wife and I walked through the door, everything about the experience felt intentional and exceptional. We were warmly welcomed, seated in a great spot, and treated to attentive, polished service you’d expect from a fine-dining restaurant. The food and drinks were outstanding, and the entire evening was simply a joy. We also had the opportunity to visit with the General Manager and proprietor, both of who... read more
