    The view was beautiful! Enjoyed the food and service. My only issue was I booked for an outdoor table and when we arrived promptly for our reservation, they told us we had to wait 30-45 minutes for a table outside. It seems really unreasonable to have someone with a reservation wait for outdoor seating that was specifically requested and no apology was offered. They don’t seem to prioritize customers well in that regard and that was disappointing since we were really looking forward to sitting outside. Otherwise solid dining experience!

    From the valet to the restaurant and bar staff, the service was impeccable. A wonderful dining menu and drink menu, both executed perfectly. The ambiance is classic fine dining. My wife and I only go there for special occasions, so we aren't regulars, but we were treated as though we were. Really, the only downside is that it is expensive, but worth it for that special occasion.

    General consensus from the party were outstanding. Appetizers were next level which included the bone marrow, bluefin tartare and the king crab stuff oysters. It really set the tone for the rest of the mains. Service was great from the staff and kept the tables clear and drinks full. The only exception to the meal was some of the mains. Over cooked and undercooked steaks that appeared to have been sitting for some time. Coming from a place where we have world class steak, the inconstancy we experienced was disappointing given the prices charged and what precluded this portion of the meal which many raves about. Overall pleasure and happy to recommend.
