Outstanding Dining Experience at A16! We started our afternoon at the bar with Aperol Spritzes, where both bartenders were engaging, welcoming, and genuinely interested in their guests. We then moved to a high-top table, where the brother team of Cooper and Austin took wonderful care of us. We ordered the Margherita and Italian sausage pizzas, along with meatballs to take home. The Margherita pizza was delicious, and while the Italian sausage pizza was good, the broccoli and kale weren’t quite to our taste. Next time, we’ll try adding Italian sausage to the Margherita—a winning combination, we think! The meatballs were equally delicious when we enjoyed them later at home with spaghetti. Beyond the great food, what truly stood out was the exceptional hospitality. The entire team was attentive, checked in regularly, and made us feel genuinely welcome. A16 continues to deliver on both food and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back whenever we’re in the city! Shelley & Kevin

The Blue Whale is a really lovely restaurant with delicious food. For appetizers we tried the Beijing dumplings and the pan fried pork buns, and for entrees we had the sweet and tangy chicken, stir-fried beef and green beans with mushrooms. Everything was delicious but the star of the show was the sweet and tangy chicken. The restaurant has a great vibe to go with its great food. We will be back soon!

First time at the restaurant and I enjoy the service. I got the tableside pasta cheese wheel and it was so delicious. Only thing I would comment is that we got our pasta and pizza a little bit longer had to wait but once we got the food, it was worth it.

Just once i would like the manager to recognize we are regulars and come over to greet us. I noticed a manager will approach certain tables to ask how the service or food is. And thats not even an issue. Its the only thing i can think of that would elevate a dining experience that was already good.
