5.0 of 5 stars. You never have to ask me twice if I want to go to AOC. It's always an enthusiastic "yes" before you even get the "C" out. The food and service here are both excellent. The wait staff is so…

4.0 of 5 stars. This was an interesting experience to say the least. I had dinner with an Ex I hadn't seen in 5 years and hadn't really spoken to except for saying "leave me alone" in almost as many years too.

4.0 of 5 stars. The food here is solid. We tried the sea bass, braised chicken, oxtail pie, and the legendary bacon-wrapped-dates. Each of the dishes had depth of flavor, some with nice subtlety. I generally love…
