    Everything was wonderful - food, wine, ambiance, and especially service. One tiny quibble was that they did not dumb the table between dinner and dessert, but maybe they were slightly understaffed that night. Our server was otherwise perfectly attentive and knowledgeable!

    Sticky toffee pudding dry as a brick. Sent it back for bread pudding. Marginally better. Everything else terrific: cocktail, pear/blue cheese salad, great cheeseburger.

    I don't like to write negative reviews but after 3 questionable experiences I thought I'd share. First, our server was really knowledgeable and friendly so 5 stars for her. The management was also receptive, but possibly not attentive? For their reputation and pricing, we thought the attention to detail would have been better. We did have a fabulous ahi tuna appetizer that was delicious! Two of our concerns were resolved, the third, we gave up and moved on. The drinks from the bar were just ok. My cocktail had chunky pieces that kept catching around the cup and my mouth which was not enjoyable. They kindly took the drink off the bill. I ordered the short rib that was served in two pieces, one was fine, but the other was 50% fat that I just kept cutting away. Again the kitchen and restaurant made it right and remade the meal. The last experience those with unlimited resources will role their eyes at, but it's something that left us annoyed. We were asked if we wanted bottled water, we said tap was fine. They poured us bottled water and we reminded them we were fine with tap, and yet we were charged $9 for the bottle of water. We enjoy fine dining on special occasions and expect to pay for it. But in return we are hoping for an exceptional experience with attention to detail.

    We ate early and town was quiet but the restaurant was not noisy at all. Lovely ambiance and the food is amazing. The sea bass was delectable.
