    Garlic parm wings
    Jillene W.

    If you're looking for a good time and good food, you definitely want to try Xperience. The restaurant is conveniently found in a small shopping center with plenty of parking available for free. The restaurant is well designed with booths as well as tables for groups and a large bar area with a DJ. We went on a Wednesday night so the atmosphere was chill and there weren't a lot of people. There also seems to be an area available for private parties or a large groups. As we walked in, we were greeted promptly by the hostess as shown to a table. Our server, Vivi og was very nice and she was quick to take our order and bring drinks to the table. We were also greeted by Jazz who was very friendly and asked us what we were celebrating. We told her that we were celebrating our birthdays and she certainly hooked us up and made sure that we really enjoyed our first time at the restaurant. We ordered several different dishes, off of the happy hour menu. Among our favorites was the coconut shrimp, the chicken dumplings, the fried cauliflower, the Yuuka fries, and the wings. Everything was quite flavorful. We ordered several drinks and they were tasty but also packed a punch. Later that night a guy with a saxophone came by and played a few songs. They also had a DJ playing as well as music throughout the night. Needless to say we will be back to have a great time.

    Brunch Date! Came here with 3 other people for their lively brunch on a Saturday. We had reservations for 2:30pm. Upon arrival the entrance was jammed pack, people standing everywhere making it hard to access the hostess. After about 5mins after people scattered we were able to check in. After another 5 minutes we were shown to our table. There's many options for brunch via a la carte and brunch buffet with different price points. My group and I decided to go with the brunch buffet. You select a few options that are then served family style. We had lamb chops, scrambled eggs, waffles, fried chicken, grits and shrimp. Everything was lack luster.... EVERYTHING. The chimi sauce that topped the steak was salty, the lamb chops were cooked well BUT the spices used weren't for me, the seasoning on the shrimp was full of salt, the grits were not seasoned, the eggs and chicken were decent. The saving grace was the cocktails. It's extremely loud, very much brunch party vibes. Service was ok but the food was just bad.

    Pretty nice atmosphere.. and plenty of music for the millennials . The food was on point also, and the service was very personable. Dope Xperience overall (see what I did there )!! But seriously it didn't feel like I was in avenel so that was kinda dope that it was semi transcendent in that aspect. I'd go back for sure and suggest others to check it out!

    Brunch was great once again, from the music to the service and food. Chris always makes sure everybody is having a good time. Avianna (sp) and Santiago gave great service.

    Went here for a friend's birthday and I wasn't quite sure what to expect even after reading reviews and watching TikTok's. The establishment is in a strip mall that is located in a place where you wouldn't expect to find an establishment like this in. They had red velvet ropes outside and their exterior was nice, however, it just didn't look like it belonged in that location is that makes sense. Once you walk in though the "xperience" begins and is IN YOUR FACE because you immediately hear the music blasting (which is problematic when trying to talk to people at your own table lol) and the lighting and decor transports you to feeling like you're in Miami or Vegas. Service while friendly (everyone was friendly) was slow but the accuracy of the orders was on point and we were a large group. Everything on the menu is pricey ... I'm talking $25 mixed cocktails pricey ... $65 average entree price pricey. And the portions aren't anything to write home about, however the flavors of the food were on point! Would I come back, probably not, however, it definitely was an "xperience" I won't forget.

    Mocktails
    Bao Y H.

    I saw this spot on Tiktok and it has been on my list for awhile now. So I decided to come here on a Wednesday night at around 10PM to celebrate my birthday and had a great time! They had a DJ and the music was very lively and loud. It was not busy due to being in the middle of the week but there were a few other patrons there celebrating birthdays. What we ordered: - Sexy Cumber mocktail (Watermelon, Cucumber, Mint, Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice, Sprite) - Paxion on the Beach mocktail (Passion Fruit, Mint, Fresh Squeezed Lime, Club) - Grilled Oysters (Prince Edward Island Lucky Lime oysters, Calabrian butter, Parmesan) - Lamb Shank main (8 hour Braised New Zealand Lamb, Lemon Risotto) - Red Snapper main (Whole Fried Fish Red Snapper, Sweet Thai Chili, Plantain Chips and a Choice of Side [we chose Fried Rice]) - Velvet Spinach side (Spinach, Garlic, and Bechamel) Overall, the food was good, a little on the salty side but I would prefer that over a bland meal. The mocktails are fun and very tasty/refreshing. The only thing I wouldn't recommend personally is the Velvet Spinach. Since it is more of a lounge spot, some people were getting complimentary shots for their birthday. I mentioned to the waiter I was not trying drinking alcohol, and they brought out a compliment gelato for me and the staff sang happy birthday.

    Dirty martini, & Berry Bliss

    We made a reservation to go to Xperience on a Friday night & maybe that's where we messed up. We arrived a few minutes before our scheduled time and we were told that our table wasn't ready. I had no problem with waiting an additional 30 minutes, but when we were brought to our table, it was right next to the DJ booth (so close that he could've reached over the booth and grabbed one of our drinks). We couldn't talk throughout dinner because the music was so loud but at least the DJ was good. The bathrooms were gross. There was a bathroom attendant that provided paper towels & toiletries however, the stalls weren't maintained well at all. I ordered a dirty martini to drink & salmon with mushrooms to eat. I enjoyed the food but overall I don't feel like the prices match the experience at all. If I ever go back, I'll sit at the bar for drinks.

    Mango Seabass
    Karen G.

    The ambiance is great. The DJ is fabulous. He played a lot of hip hop & RnB songs. The restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. However, the food is overrated. I ordered a Mango Sea-bass and it was flavorless. The portion is tiny and it doesn't look like anything like the photo. Just a tiny dots of mango sauce. $54 for this is outrageous.

    Steak & Eggs
    Laura D.

    Xperience is not only a brunch spot, as the name suggests, it's an experience. Right away when you walk in you see the chic vibe with colorful lights, an in house dj, and club style loungers. The staff was super nice and welcoming and made sure our every need was taken care of. We had a large table as we were celebrating a birthday and everybody found something they were excited to eat and drink. I personally ate the lomo saltado and thought it was full with flavor. I also had the mule which I found refreshing and very well balanced.

    Visited for a birthday celebration. We had a good time. There is a set price everyone pays for food that is served family style. You can add drinks or go with the option which does not include drinks. We went with the option without drinks since some individuals at the table would not be drinking. The food was very good. I tried the pasta, salmon, salad, fries, chicken and the dessert which were all good. Everyone seemed to have eaten well and two people even took some food home. I had the lychee martini as my drink which was good. The server was friendly and attentive. We were seated by the DJ booth which is a bit cramped. I kept having to move my chair every time the server returned which was a bit annoying but nothing that ruined the experience. The one thing I was not fond of was once we paid the bill they gave our table to new guests. We were there for a birthday and we all planned to continue to order drinks. We were a group of 12 which was a lot to crowd the bar. We ordered drinks at the bar but ended up leaving. I understand business is business but with the money spent you would think a bit more grace would be given. The verdict: I would return with a smaller group.

    Came here for a friend's birthday brunch at the end of last month. There's a reason why this establishment is called "Xperience" because you indeed get an experience when you decide to come here. We (party of about 12) were seated directly in front of the DJ booth. This was the best seat in the house in my opinion. We had a perfect view of the large projectors and televisions that were showing the Sunday NFL games. The bar is huge and fully loaded with various alcohol to choose from. The belly dancers and saxophonist kept the place lively during the love DJ set. A majority of our table including myself ordered the steak and eggs with home fries and a side salad. The meal was delicious but the steak was small. The entire table had more than enough alcohol (mimosas and margaritas) throughout our unlimited brunch duration. I also had the yuca fries and turkey bacon as sides to go with my steak and eggs meal. It is pretty loud in here so if that's not your thing, don't come here. This is definitely a place that I recommend you try at least once.

    Ou La Restaurant & Bar is the kind of place you want to see succeed. From the moment we walked in,…read morethe service was warm, professional and genuinely attentive. Our entire party wasn't there yet, but we were seated anyway, which I really appreciated. The staff checked in on us consistently without being overbearing, and while we waited for the rest of our party, we were asked if we wanted a drink. That small gesture stood out to me because a lot of restaurants will make you wait until everyone arrives before they even offer you anything. Here, they made us feel welcomed right away. Now, the food. We ordered the steak and eggs, island oxtail burrito, island burger with egg, and I decided to make my own combination. I ordered the Ou La wings and asked if I could get a side of diri jon jon (Haitian black mushroom rice). They were happy to accommodate the request, and everyone enjoyed their meals. One thing that really impressed me was how quickly an issue with the steak was handled. The steak had been ordered medium well, but came out well done. It was mentioned, and once it was brought to the chef's attention, the chef came back just a couple of minutes later with the steak prepared the way it was originally requested. A big deal wasn't made about it, so the fact that he took the initiative to correct it so quickly said a lot to me about how seriously they take their customers and food. And then there was the kremas! I noticed that they had a cocktail called Café Kremas, which is essentially an espresso version of a traditional kremas. It sounded interesting, but I really wanted to try the kremas by itself. I asked, and they were more than happy to accommodate me. Again, that willingness to listen and make the customer happy really stood out. The ambiance is beautiful. Everything feels thoughtfully designed, from the aesthetics to the layout. There's a separate bar area, and you can actually see the chefs working and preparing the food, which adds to the experience. Ou La is doing something special. The food was good, the atmosphere is beautiful, but what really stood out to me was the service. The staff was pleasant, attentive, professional, and clearly focused on making sure the customers were taken care of. If you're thinking about eating at this restaurant, I'm telling you to do it. Support this business and tip well. We need more restaurants that understand great food is only part of the experience. Customer service is important, and Ou La gets that. There is metered parking directly in front of the restaurant. If those spots are full, there's additional parking in the lot behind the restaurant near the church. I would also suggest making a reservation, especially if you're planning to go during a busy brunch or dinner service.

We had the short rib empanadas, which were crispy and fully of meat. They were definitely the highlight of the night! The rasta pasta was good, but it came out warm and with few shrimp. The flavors were still excellent, however. The carrot cake for dessert was moist and not too sweet, which I prefer! The space was also super clean and well maintained. What really disappointed me was the service. We had a reservation, but had to wait to be seated even with plenty of open tables. That's normally not a big deal for us, but we had an event to get to tonight, so we were in more of a rush. Someone came to us to ask what water we wanted after 10 minutes of being sat, after which the hostess came back over to us to apologize that our server hasn't come over yet and asked if we would like water. Much more time passes and someone (still not our server) comes to ask us if everything is alright. We explain that no one has taken our order, which she apologized for and took our order for us. She then had to come back over because she forgot to include what protein we picked for our pasta. Finally, our server came over to us. We explained that we had already ordered. More hiccups continued throughout the night, including a long wait for the check, never being brought a dessert menu after asking, etc. I'm not one to complain about service, I just think they could be more efficient. At the time we arrived, there were only a few other tables seated in our area. It wasn't super busy, and there were a lot of people working. We overheard staff whispering about who was supposed to be taking care of us, and it still took time for someone to come over and help us. I think the staff knew we overheard or were disappointed in the service, because our dessert was free, and we received a bread basket as well. I'd love to give them another chance, just maybe not if I have plans after.

There is ample seating here as you can see from some of the pictures I took and the two staff we talked to were very friendly.

There's something interesting to look at everywhere you turn. The main level features a full bar with plenty of seating, including booths if you prefer a more casual dining experience. But make your way upstairs because the second level is something special. There's plenty of room for larger gatherings, while still having an intimate feel that would be perfect for a date night or special dinner. Let's Talk About the Bread Service! We started with the Bread Service, and honestly, had I known what was involved, I would have taken a video! This is more than just someone dropping a basket of bread on your table. The server actually prepares and smokes the specialty house butter right at your table. Talk about dinner and a show! You can customize the butter with different ingredients, including brown butter, bourbon, and sea salt. The presentation alone makes this worth trying, but the butter was also absolutely delicious. The Star of the Show For our entrée, we went with the Elite Prime Dry-Aged Filet Mignon, an incredibly tender 8-ounce cut served with truffle shiitake butter. WOW. The filet was cooked beautifully and incredibly flavorful, and that truffle shiitake butter took it to another level. Tender, rich, and absolutely mouthwatering. This is the kind of steak you take your time eating because you don't want it to end! Sides We ordered two sides to share: Bourbon-Glazed Brussels Sprouts -- with diced bacon and Parmesan. The bourbon glaze added a nice touch of sweetness, while the bacon and Parmesan brought plenty of savory flavor. Creamed Corn -- with crispy chorizo, chives, and panko. Creamy, flavorful, and definitely not your ordinary creamed corn. The crispy chorizo added a fantastic little kick and texture. Dessert Of course, we had to save room for dessert! We finished with the House Bread Pudding, served warm and topped with ice cream. Warm bread pudding + cold ice cream is a combination that never disappoints. It was the perfect way to end an already fantastic dinner. Shout-Out to Henrique! A big Kudos to our server, Henrique! He was fantastic from beginning to end--super friendly, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot-on, and the way he described each dish made you want to order practically everything on the menu! Great service can make an excellent meal even better, and Henrique definitely helped make our experience memorable. Final Thoughts Strickland's Steakhouse is more than just a place to grab a steak. The historic setting, unique décor, creative presentations, quality food, and excellent service all come together to make this a really fun dining experience. Whether you're looking for a great date-night destination, a place to celebrate a special occasion, or somewhere to meet up with friends, Strickland's is definitely worth checking out. And now I understand those accolades from 2024 and 2025--they're well deserved! Great steak. Great atmosphere. Great presentation. Great service. Highly recommend Strickland's Steakhouse if you're in the Woodbridge area!
