Excellent food and service for special occasions. Don’t turn your nose up looking at ingredients. Your pallet won’t be disappointed!
My boyfriend and I ate here for the first time this past weekend and were completely blown away! Phenomenal food and even better service! We had high expectations and they managed to supersede them! We had a wonderful host by the name of Xander and he made our whole dining experience A+! So well worth the money! We will most definitely be back! Thank you guys for an amazing date night!
Excellent dining and superb service
Amazing food and service to match. Can’t say enough about this place!!
Chef de cuisine has master searing skills. Ate braised veal sweetbreads and barramundi (fish) wit basmati rice pilaf of vegetables and legumes. Both were excellent. Since I’m afraid of sauce inundation, I ordered on the side but didn’t touch it. Had two glasses (don’t worry, I walked to my hotel) of very good 2011 Valpolicella. I want to return soon because the Chef is creative, and proof is already hinted by the interesting menu choices.
They say each meal is individually crafted, but when asked, they won't accommodate food allergies. My $50 plate arrived with zero vegetables, unseasoned meat, flavorless potatos, no sauce, and no garnish.
Besides serving cheese plates prior to the main course, an absolute awesome restaurant. Best restaurant I 've been so far in the States. Hope you guys will get Alexander as your waiter. Thanks to the chef again!!!
Thank you to the staff for a wonderful 28th anniversary dinner. This was our first time and it was wonderful. Everyone from the minute we walked in was helpful, pleasant and very thoughtful. The ambiance is beautuful! Food was amazing.....(chef could i please have the recipe for that butternut squash soup!!!!�) thank you all again! Every course, dish was excellent!! We will be back many times!
