    Went for Valentines Dinner. Ambience is 5 stars. The staff are friendly and nice. The service was a little shaky with the servers or food runners forgetting or misplacing food orders. The appetizers and entree were ok, it was a pre fixe menu in anticipation of the high volume so that’s probably why it lacked that extra special touch. The fillet minon was cooked to perfection and came with broccolini and mushrooms. The dessert was disappointing, we ordered the tiramisu which was served late, but on a chocolate base but totally frozen inside. They had us try another lemon dessert and another strawberry one but they were all not convincing. I would love to give it another try when they are not as busy and order other items, but I’d give this experience a 3.8/5

    Service was quick, courteous and stayed aware of our timing to get to a show at the Majestic down the street. The food, as always, was great - the artichoke appetizer is delish!
