    We went for The Feast of Seven Fishes (only counted 6). Started with cocktails, but the 1st course came ahead of them, so we waited. Both (different) cocktails were mostly nugget ice and heavily citrused. Won’t order cocktails again. Small plates were decent, but confidently small. The lobster tortellini plate made up for the total meal and was generous. Basque cheesecake is an interesting less-sweet option but I wouldn’t opt for it.

    Had a great time celebrating my birthday with friends. We had a 10 person table and our server did great. The donuts are all amazing, and everyone was happy with their food. I got the crab toast and thought it was just OK though. Not a ton of crab and very hard and messy to eat

    This evening we had the Portobello Tartare to start, and Beef Bourguignon as our entree. This was possibly the best beef I've ever had, and I am a complete food snob. It was so tender you could have cut it with a spoon. It melted in our mouths! The food was exceptional, the servers were attentive but not intrusive. The ambience was on the loud side, but understandable at a festive family-friendly event. I've eaten here many times, and I've never had a bad bite, but tonight was superlative!
