Excellent food and ambiance! We like to sit outside seating the best. It’s quieter than inside.

Party of 4 and we split the giant lobster tail and a19 oz ribeye. Waiter offered to cut it all which made it very easy to serve. Excellent wine list but few options at lower price points This is a top restaurant in every way but you pay dearly for it.

Great experience. Food was good , atmosphere was excellent. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the music. We sat in the bar and the music was so loud that everyone was shouting. Not a deal breaker but would be more enjoyable if it were a bit quieter.

Very lovely dinner last night. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Interesting and creative flavor combinations. The tuna was amazing as was the steak. The staff was extremely friendly,attentive, and knowledgeable. Only downside we saw was the ambient noise level was quite high.
