    My wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary at 618 for the 4th time. As always, the food, service, and ambiance were excellent. They do a great job of recognizing your anniversary from the moment you check in until you pay the check. Our waiter, Mark, was fantastic. He greeted us by name, spent time discussing our anniversary, and made sure we felt like valued customers. Mark consistently stopped by to ask if we needed anything. I highly recommend 618 for any event or just to have dinner.
