Absolutely one of the best restaurant experiences my friends and I have ever had. We went for NYE and the service was phenomenal. We started in the lounge upstairs and asked the bartender to make a "fun" drink for the guys and a fun drink for us ladies. I wish I knew the bartenders name but he made a whiskey drink for the guys and "the ex girlfriend" for the girls. The bartender was so nice even though the bar was quite busy. Delicious drink!!! We kept drinking them all night. Then we went downstairs for dinner - our waiter was AMAZING. Great service, friendly, funny and just wanted us to have a great experience. Poppy Den wasn't too crowded which I appreciated because they definitely could've packed the place. At the end of the night before midnight, our waiter (I think he is the manager, actually) took all of our drinks upstairs for us and found a table. Even this surprised me because you don't always find that someone will go out of the way to help you. I shouldn't have been surprised though based on the service we'd already been experiencing! Our food was delicious - my husband even loved the spicy beet salad which shocked me. Angelo was also walking around and while we didn't interact with him, he had a very friendly face. I can't wait to come back here with friends for dinner or even just drinks. Such a wonderful experience and we loved ringing in the new year with the Poppy Den family!
