Was there for a client dinner. Service was excellent. I ordered the small filet and it wasn’t loaded with butter etc like the big chain steakhouses do.

The food is smart, creative & beautiful while remaining very approachable. We ordered and shared the: Hamachi Crudo, bone marrow, scallops, shishito peppers, and filet mignon with uni. We were wowed by the flavors and execution & plating of every course. The service is on point with attentive and friendly staff. Our order was well coursed out. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the space is well utilized for a smaller restaurant space.
