Our servicer (wish I remembered her name) was amazing. Very attentive. It was my daughter's 18th birthday and dinner was great. They had no problem with bringing out her cake for photos...and they even lit candles for her. Great meal. Great service.

I had a lovely evening visiting with friends at Casbah last night. Our server, Nate was very friendly and gave us plenty of time to visit and enjoy our food and drinks. I do, however, have to comment on the pasta entree we all ordered and had to send back. I've eaten at Casbah since they opened in 1995 and as long as it's been on the menu, have ordered the Red Pepper Casereccia with scallops and just loved it. My friends ordered it as well and when it was served the scallops and pasta were sitting in an inch of green water instead of the butter & parsley base. I'm guessing there was an issue in the kitchen that night and hope to enjoy my favorite entree on my next visit.

Anniversary. Poor table. Food was rushed. They are just going through the motions. Will not return anytime soon. The browning Christmas garland in front of the restaurant was a red flag that there is no attention to detail. It is the end of February.

We had three different salads, all great. Our duck and swordfish entrees were very, very good. I would have like more greens and gnocchi with the duck. Gale was an excellent server, attentive but not hovering; not pretentious, good and creative wine recommendations.

I would have given 5 star to all as drinks at the bar and service was great! So was the dining food, and drinks, Paige was excellent as she was our server. However, I had left my purse there that night (February 10th night) by mistake, and fortunately it was returned to me as I went and picked it up on Saturday the 11th, all my $20 bills accounting to $200 was missing from my purse, I spoke to the manager on Saturday who was on duty, initially he just blew it off, but later took my name and number to contact me. I am still waiting to hear. For a restaurant quality like Casbah, ( we were there for our Valentine’s Day early dinner) , we would expect, anyone who works there has integrity and hired well. Will appreciate any response or action from the restaurant.
