Shepherd & Sims

I enjoy going here for the people. The wait staff is always kind, welcoming and helpful. The food. Certain foods. Like the original version of the Bucatini was amazing. The burger is always solid. Some do not always hit the mark but with a rotating menu it's expected. Good whiskey selection, beer needs work but sometimes they surprise you.

We had a party of eight, and I felt like we ordered the entire menu and sampled each other's plates. The medium rare steak looked like it was cooked correctly. However, it was a little tough. Others in our party ordered each of the oysters and said they were all delicious except for one flavor. The best dish we had was surprisingly the octopus. It was cooked perfectly, which is hard to do. The staff was the absolute best part of this entire experience. My bartender was attentive, friendly, and was able to make a Vesper martini without even flinching. Our waitress was very friendly, bubbly, timely with her attentiveness, and knew her menu. Whenever we encountered any of the staff, they were genuinely attentive and responsive Including the runners. The food prices we're about what we expe

We spent New Year’s Eve there and it was a wonderful experience! The food was amazing and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was unique and cozy, and the place itself is beautiful and modern. We enjoyed DJ music, a balloon drop, and free champagne at midnight — such a fun celebration. Bravo! Great job. We’re already looking forward to coming back next year for another New Year’s Eve celebration at this place. 🎉🥂

Wife and I enjoyed our Valentine's dinner here. We ordered the meatballs and cauliflower appetizers, with the grilled octopus and the swordfish schnitzel being the main entrees. We finished off the evening with the tapioca pudding dessert which was delicious. Overall a solid choice. I'll check out the happy hour (2-5:30pm weekday) next time.

There are many positive reviews so I don’t know if we ate here on an off night or what. I do like the restaurant atmosphere. It has quite nice decor, a cool blend of hip with a touch of modern rustic class. But service was slow and we felt unattended all evening. From ordering to food to water to the bill. When the waitress WAS with us, she was quite nice and attentive though. But still, wasn’t expecting an hour and a half dinner on a Monday. Food was hit or miss. Oysters, risotto scallops, and octopus were good. Chicken liver mousse was an odd combination of flavors IMO. The sweetness overpowered the savory pate characteristic. The burger was average at best. I’ve had the same at my favorite restaurant (Forthright, now closed) which used to be a sister place to here. Seemed better ther
