   First impressions - I really wanted to like this restaurant as it is nearby. Made an early reservation and specifically asked NOT to be seated next to the service area. Guess which table I was immediately led to? I was grudgingly moved to another table and seated. Service was excellent but the food was not. The lobster shooter was tiny bits of lobster in a butter-filled shot glass. Meh. The prosciutto and burrata plate would have been good if the prosciutto had not been pre-sliced and sitting on the plate in the cooler for who know’s how long - it was literally glued to the plate and each piece had to be scraped off to eat. The burrata was good but the sticky prosciutto sort of ruined the dish. Several pieces of the accompanying bread were completely burnt on one side and others barely toasted. My final course was the mushroom risotto. It arrived covered in a dried parsley garnish..while this may “look” attractive it does nothing for the taste. Adding dried bits of greenery to a risotto gave it an unpleasant taste and the pieces get stuck in your teeth, something no one appreciates while dining. The taste of the risotto was ok but nothing exceptional. That was my overall impression, ok but nothing that would make me want to return to try other dishes. The place filled up before I left so it’s obviously popular with local diners but I must have missed those dishes. I’m disappointed because it’s very close and would have been a regular dining spot if the food was good.

   This our 2nd experience here day after Valentine’s date w my wife as I didn’t want the huge restraurant feel but smaller more intimate and made reservations (recommended) and food was amazing, ambience and sunset beautiful, weather was perfect for outside patio dining too and the heaters warm the atmosphere. We loved it and there was love music beautifully played as well.

   We go here often but it was extremely busy on valentines night. They ran out of a couple of our favorites and didn't know it for awhile so the wait was longer than usual. The salmon wasn't quite as good as usual either We will go back because we know this is not the norm.

   Our first time in the “new” location. Gorgeous larger space and same spectacular food. We went with two friends who had never been. They were blown away. The food quality and presentation makes you think you are in New York or LA. Our server, Matisse, was equally ready for the big time. We could not have had a better experience.

   The food and service were very good. However, it was very load in the restaurant and we had difficulty conversing throughout our meal. One or two less tables and it would have been an outstanding experience.
