David our chef was pretty awesome and so was our waitress. Unfortunately we had an obnoxious table mate who kept criticizing the chef so that kinda soured the mood a bit but we were there for my son’s birthday and we quickly tried to ignore it. We tried to approach a manager to share how great our experience was but he was rude as can be and left us with a bad experience. I believe his name was Jason but I’m not sure. It might be a bit before we go back but the service was great.

Beautiful restaurant with stylish decor, delicious food, and excellent service. The signature lobster bites and New York steak were perfect, but the miso bass stole the show. It was so fresh and soft like butter.
