The food was phenomenal. The server was terrific. Unfortunately, fine dining is expensive and you can get similar quality food (perhaps a slight notch less) at half the price at other places.

Very nice place for our anniversary dinner. The room we were sat in was a bit noisy but we managed. My martini was ordered up with olives on the side, I think the olives were put in it due to the taste but I worked through it. We both ordered med rare filets but mine ended up more towards medium. Other than those small issues, had an enjoyable evening.
