I really enjoyed my first time at Filter. From the ambiance with fresh flower centerpieces, to the mood lighting, decor and DJ to our service from Myra, to the food, I was not disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Myra was our server and she was so attentive, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. The food came out quickly and the mac and cheese is to DIE FOR! Overall, the food was amazing in flavor while being reasonable in price for nice sized portions. I recommend the cauliflower appetizer, the Caesar salad and the fried lobster tail with Mac and cheese. Did I mention how good the mac and cheese was??!! It’s delicious! Be mindful that there is a dress code. The restaurant sets the tone for a more upscale vibe and I was told I had to cover up because of my cleavage in my dress, that wasn’t a problem for me I closed my jacket. However, upon being seated there were guests dining in see through pants, crop tops, T shirts, sneakers, ripped jeans etc. everyone in there was not dressed more “appropriately.” A suggested area of improvement would be if the restaurant is geared toward a certain dress code (“smart casual” is what is listed on the site) Then the standards should be uniformed for all guests on what is acceptable or not, not just personal preference or opinion. Overall 10/10! I’ve already recommended Filter to friends and family. It’s a must try. I’ll definitely return back to try brunch and to get more Mac and cheese!
Everything was full of flavor for brunch and well worth the wait (about 30 min) & Mimosa tower came quick. Good vibes with a live DJ & our server Juanita was great ! Lamb chops aren’t pictured but were AMAZING. Can’t wait to come back for dinner!
Overall it’s an experience. My good friend from high school had her birthday dinner here and we had an amazing time. Nice atmosphere though I felt like the food was a little over priced. My drink was delicious but the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls were kind of salty but they were good though and my salmon was perfect. I think I’m one and done. Like if somebody invited me out again to come here then I would but I wouldn’t just come here on a regular. I still had a ball though!!
The food, service, and atmosphere was 10/10 recommend. This was place on our list to visit as we traveled. The food was the best we've had since we been in town. Our bartender Robin was amazing made the perfect drinks even the virgin drink that was order was impeccable!
