Beautiful restaurant. Food was excellent we had 4 small plates all very good. Service was great. Drinks were expensive though and valet is so far away from door we were freezing by the time we got our car! Also walkway slippery due to the snow we had. But overall very nice experience would recommend.

The service was absolutely phenomenal, yet again! Perfect for the Holidays! The Hostesses were friendly and welcoming - they read my notes which I appreciated. Our server was the cherry on top, knowing exactly what drink I wanted without any explanation—most places, I have to describe what a Kerryoael is, but he nailed it right away. Loved that little detail. Plus, getting extra salted nuts was a fun little bonus! I’ll definitely be back again!

Great time. Agree with the other reviews, which was why I chose this place. It's more of a bar so it was pretty much only us for dinner on a Wednesday night, but the food and service were great. Highly recommend. Nice decor as well.
