Being we were there for the first seating on New Year’s Eve, the waiter was so concerned with getting us out before the New Year’s prix fixe customers came in that the service felt rushed and we did not feel valued as customers. My suggestion is that if the server will be under that much pressure that the restaurant should cut off regular dining reservations earlier.

Appetizer was a beet and goat cheese salad … wait for it … the goat cheese was fried. Holy smokes, wonderful. Main course: We had the twin lobster tails, which came with mashed potatoes and green beans, and the grouper which is now my favorite fish to eat. Expertly prepared. Would highly recommend. $150 with drinks so beat my budget for the evening :)
