First time visiting the study, and we will definitely be back! Our server Rodney made sure that we were comfortable with the menu and offered suggestions which we took every one of. Manny, the bartender also offered a warm welcome. His cocktail list was seasonal, fun, and well crafted. AJ the dessert cook brought us his pana cotta as a surprise. Chef sent out a fun amuse bouche. Great atmosphere, service, and food 10/10!
