on Citysearch Aug 23, 2009The food was great and the wasabi ketchup is to die for! However, the lighting is dark (I prefer to see my food) and the wait staff wasn't great. But if you want good food I highly recommend it!... (more)

on Citysearch May 23, 2009I cannot believe how poorly I was treated by the staff, in particular the hostess. I had my girlfriends in from out of town and I wanted to show them the "big city" so I took them there. I was so embarrassed! I had... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 12, 2009After hearing all the mediocre (at best) reviews about Ketchup, I knew I shouldn't have expected much, and yet maybe I still expected too much... When I had made my original dinner reservation the girl who answered... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 26, 2009I ate at Ketchup while on vacation after hearing about it from a friend. I'll admit, I wasn't expecting it to be THIS good. The food was delicious! I had the Shake n Bake (pistachio-crusted chicken). It was amazing! My... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 25, 2009If you are going to Ketchup for the food or service STOP right now! This place has never been lauded for their cuisine. It's just diner food kicked up a few notches. But thanks to The Hills TV show this place gets a ton of... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 18, 2008People think this restaurant would be a great place to go to because celebrities go there like the cast of The Hills, Run's House, and The Girls Next Door, but in actuality, it is okay, but not great. There are better... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 29, 2008Don't get me wrong, I don't mind hanging in fun spots and spending money on decent food, however this place has neither. The crowd is young and inpsired by what they see on the Hills and the food is disgusting, seriously... (more)
