A perfect dining experience. Brian was our waiter, and he did an excellent job explaining the menu and checking on my food allergies. The meal was delightful and there is no topping that view.

This was my second visit in 3 weeks. Today there were 3 of us - I and 1 of my guests were here with me a few weeks ago- a business reunion of sorts after a decade. Today, I invited another friend who also knew my guest. Both were, or are elected officials at some time in their careers. Both times I had the Thai Peanut salad and the Doctor Mule cocktail. Both were as outstanding and flavorful as they were on my first visit. My guests were both pleased with their choices. To be honest I don’t remember what they ate. The tall ceilings make it a little difficult to hear- but not impossible. I will return.
