We had a wonderful pre-Hanukkah/Christmas Eve meal. The service was attentive. Wished the portion was slightly bigger. Thank you for a memorable evening.

I have to say this is yet another overpriced restaurant. I get that fine dining is supposed to have small plates of food, but this is just silly. There were 4 of us, (two had a cocktail) and we ordered the cavier which is $50 extra for a tiny amount. Plus the "fancy Japanese Wagyu beef" which wasn't more than 1-2 oz for an extra $125.00. Not very tasty other than the salad and the dressing. So we paid $1,000 for the evening (less tip) and left somewhat hungry plus it was somewhat noisy. The service was good but overbearing as they felt compelled to explain in detail each dish and come back and ask each of us our thoughts. Annoying. Won't go back

Our waiter, David was so knowledgeable and fun! The food was delicious each dish was just the right amount so we never got too full. Standouts were the crudo, steak, and salad. McConnell’s dessert was magical!

Our servers were outstanding as was the kitchen. Seasonal, multi course menu was spectacular with local produce and seafood, handmade pasta, and interesting plays with texture and flavors. The wine list was exceptional as well. Treat yourself to dinner here, you won’t regret it!

Open Table sent us reminders every hour on the day we went. That was the only negative aspect.
