Very nice ambiance and amazing tasty food. Everything was served and presented as an experience and not just “food”. Really made a regular dinner into something over the top. And loved that the mocktails were equally “machine engineered” as the regular cocktails. Only annoying part was the selling of the flowers . But it was still nice to see

The food was tasty, but the meal was fairly expensive. The service was really where things fell apart. While everyone was friendly, it did seem that our waiter entirely forgot about us for extended periods of the evening. That may have been fine on it’s own, but then there was a mix up with an order and there was no effort to accommodate though the mistake lay with the restaurant. On top of it they wouldn’t split checks more than three ways. Certainly not a dining experience I would recommend to larger groups

Their cocktails are hard to miss. The presentation is unparalleled, food was also surprisingly really good. We went there for brunch, the vibe was good. Not too noisy, not too quiet, perfect setting to meet with friends or a date.

Good food, good drinks, cute gimmicks. A special occasion place, to be sure.

Over priced for what it is and service could be better.

Wonderful time! We had a very accommodating server who fulfilled all our needs. Get the tacos, WORTH IT! We’ll definitely be back!

Our server was not at all acknowledging to our table. She stopped in to take our food order and our drink order; once the food arrived she checked in once more until we were done. When we ordered drinks, we also ordered sparkling water. Which never arrived. We received tap water instead, and one of the glasses still had lip stick stain from previous consumer. When we ordered a bottle of bubbles, our wine glasses were brought out straight from the glass/dish washer… they were soaked. They didn’t even try to polish the glasses. My guest asked for their cocktail ON THE ROCKS two separate times and they arrived in coups. We asked our server for extra condiments; which we never received It was not as busy for our server or our service to be that forgetful or missed. We did not have the experience we hoped we did. Will not be coming back.

I wish I could give Engineered 10 stars. It was the perfect experience from the host station to departure. Everyone was welcoming and engaging. The bday celebration menu and card was a nice touch. Rashad was so personable, knowledgeable and had the best smile. The smoked carrots and chicken tacos were magic. Everyone loved their food.

Every aspect of Machine was amazing! The food was delicious and the cocktails were divine! Everyone was so lovely and so helpful. 10/10 would recommend for a date night

Wonderful experience with a small group to celebrate my birthday. The waiter was so wonderful and made it all the more better .
