Argent Restaurant & Raw Bar Reviews List

Argent Restaurant & Raw Bar

A new approach to modern American dining. The nitty-gritty industrial period fused with sleek modern elements sets the tone for “comfort chic” in the dana hotel and spa.

A unique floating bar on the first floor pays homage to the industrial period while the redesigned sleek modern space welcomes diners to experience high quality cuisine without the high price in a laid back atmosphere. Venture upstairs to be seated at the Raw Bar for fresh oysters and the house-specialty “Argent Burger”.

"Good food, service was great but expected it to busier for a warm friday evening, I think I counted 3 other couples the whole time we were there. I had the shrimp to start, for $15 I would have expected more than 4 small shrimp served on ice. The rest of the food was delicious though."

"We went for brunch and it was rather quiet. It looks like a fun place to go to for happy hour or dinner. Much more of a crowd probably. We enjoyed our Sunday Brunch though!"

"The food was unique, presented well and flavorable. The service was attentive but not intrusive. We came to enjoy the oysters and found many other nice surprises as well."

"The restaurant was fine but I won't be rushing back to it. I ordered the boullibase which was flavorful but pieces of the shellfish were over cooked. My dining partner ordered the $16 burger, which was disappointing from a quality stand point. The patty was thin and over cooked. The fries were not crisp and neither dish came out hot. I was hoping for more from the food since the chef had a good pedigree. The ambiance is always challenging since it is long and narrow. The remodel of it from the former restaurant didn't do anything to provide an intimate feel or a good use of space. Still very awkward feeling in the dining room."

"We couldn’t wait to compare this new place to Aja (Dana's old restaurant) Much better! This a perfect place for after work dinner with friends or clients as it offers a million tasty starter options so easy to share! We had Oxtail Fritters, Deviled Eggs, Escolar & Salmon crudos and everything (especially Escolar crudo & Oxtail fritters) was VERY well done with a unique twist. While all entrees were delicious See bass stood out with exceptional tenderness of the fish and presentation... of course Shrimp& Grits if you have a soft spot of Southern cuisine. Deserts are fantastic the chocolate Sphere field with soup (YES chocolate soup with chili pepper) was out of this world... But what made the experience most special was Ray - our waiter! Kno"

"Service and food were fantastic! With so much attention to detail and Dillon (our server) attending to our every need and checking in at every course. The staff were very warm, welcoming, charming and knowledgable but the dining room is way too bright and the music too loud. It didn't affect our entire evening but did make enough of an impact for us to notice, especially with certain songs. All of this being said the experience at Argent was a refreshing change from the rest of the restaurant week dining we had with surly servers, bad food & feeling as if we are being begrudged our attempt at finding a good value at a great place. Will avoid restaurant week going forward and find the gems everyday."

"Richard was a great server − Aaron was a great bartender with excellent recipes - The french vinegar combo with the oysters is amazing, the deviled eggs were enjoyable and the whipped mashed potatoes are to die for!"

"Great experience - our waiter, Darrin, was fantastic. The wine flight that he gave us wasn't the bottom selections - actually good ones (even with a coupon). Best wine flight I've ever had!"
