It’s good and tasty. The lobster soup was amazing . But too dark inside. The waitress Mariia is so nice.

Live band and $7 per person charge. Automatic Twenty percent tip charge. The menu is exactly the same as Little Gem, which is a great menu, but I’m not sure the price is the same. I have a reservation at Little Gem, and I got offered to try at Encore without saying that $7 person to participate. No problem, though, because the band is amazing. Delicious menu, tasty cocktails, and great service. Mussel, branzino, lamb chop, and filet mignon are so delicious. Paella is weird and way too salty. I been Spain for two weeks and I had never seen soupy Paella and tasted so salty before. We’ve been to Little Gem for a couple of times, and we are satisfied with everything there. Little Gem is so busy but has no live band. Encore has no customer and has a live band.

I’ve been to this restaurant many times and usually enjoy the food and service. However, my last visit was extremely disappointing and ended with me feeling unwell as I had to vomit upon leaving.
When I was seated, I wasn’t offered any bread, and the waiter seemed disinterested in his work. There were only two other groups in the restaurant, so I expected better service. The food took a long time to arrive, and when it finally did, it was both bland and cold.
What upset me the most, though, was when I noticed a roach crawling right next to my plate. I immediately alerted the waiter, who quickly came over to kill it. He then informed me that he would contact a manager while apologizing, explaining that they had recently sprayed, which was the reason for the roaches being present.
After waiting for 25 minutes with no further assistance, the waiter returned with a bill for $135 and a $30 gift card. I politely paid the bill but told him to keep the gift card, as I will not be returning. The service was poor, and the food made me sick shortly after leaving. This was the worst dining experience I’ve ever had.

love the liveliness of the atmosphere, but just geez.. I came here a year ago and had a 10/10 experience. The jazz band was great the food was even better! This time. November 2024. I am appalled by what was served to me. Who on earth would ask for a great piece of steak to be SMOTHERED in a BURNT. Disgusting. Inedible sage sauce. the recipe before was good. This one was only a slap to the face. And to make up for it, the chef brought out a panned cooked UNCOOKED “cookie” LOADED with salt. Felt as if whoever is working in that kitchen doesn’t care about the feedback they receive. Their ego is bigger than my empty stomach. still ended up paying 150 for a dinner for two although I didn’t eat. I will not come back to this place and I hope others will save their appetite instead of having it ruined.

We held a baby shower on a Saturday from 11-2, everything was great. Tables were setup when we arrived to decorate. Servers & bartender John were very helpful & attentive. Food was delicious. Judith was a true gem to work with! Highly recommended!

Encore! by Little Gem Is not open during the day, and they don’t even know it! The host was just as surprised as we were when our group of 6 came in with a confirmed reservation via OpenTable. Reserve at your own risk!

Used to love going here, but last time I was here there were literally roaches swarming all over the wall behind the bar. Immediately left. Will never come back. Sad to see.
