Was there for dinner last night, they told us a table would be available but after waiting for over half hour we decided to come back the next day, manager was apologetic and even gave us our drinks for free, it looks like a great place we are going there for dinner tonite

No matter how “cool” the place may be, you can expect to be either turned away in the parking lot, told you need reservations, be told they do not take reservations, be told to come back in a couple of hours, be told they will call your cell when there is room available (then never call), and be treated rudely! It is not worth trying to go here with the attitude problem and profiling done here. I will not even go to the owners other restaurant (Smoke)because of the way I am treated here. There are plenty of other places to go for good food and ambiance, and be treated with repect.

I give Ciro’s a Zero. Just an after thought. No stars needed to rate this one.

This is my first ever remark about the many restaurants I have been to. My wife called Ciro’s to make a reservation for four for around 6pm. She was told we would not need a reservation if we were dining that early. We arrived at 5:40 were told by owner they were not open until 6 and we would have to come back after six. We were told our table for 4 would be set and ready for us when we returned. We returned about 6:15 and were told we would have to wait about an hour and a half for a table for four but they would set us at a small strip bar facing a blank wall or at 2 tables for 2. They then explaned that they only have 2 tables that will accommidate a party of four in the restaurant. Why did they not tell us to be there at exactly 6 or we would have to wait? They had given away our table. I will never eat there because they treated us like dirt. There are plenty of other places to eat. I think Gordon has picked an iffey partner to be in business with. I told Gordons partner, I assume he was Ro Patel that I hope they fall on their face because of the way we were treated. They were also trying to be cutsy with their concept crap while they were offending us with their lack of service. NO THANKS

Do not go here! Worst imaginable service! If you wanted to get treated badly the go to a Mcdonalds. They might treat you better!

Just went there last night. We initially had a party of 6, so we were able to make reservations. One couple backed out, so it ended up being just four of us, but it wasn’t a problem. The cocktails and food were great! I can’t wait to go back!

Very cool concept. The food was very good. Lump crab meat martini is amazing. Some really good drinks. If you are a big vodka drinker, you’ll have limited options. My only complaint is that the service was slow. In a three hour time period, I was only able to order two drinks. I will admit I was with a group of friends and I understand serviing a group is more difficult. They were fabulous drinks and well worth the cost, but when you have a capacity of only 74 people in the whole place, getting drinks shouldnt really be an issue. But overall, I have to give it an A-.

Loved this place! My fiancé and I were very impressed. The Chef is creative with the menu selections. Great atmosphere. Perfect for a date or hanging out with friends. Very intimate and trendy spot.
