Pretty shocked by how good both our entrees were, they definitely earned their higher prices. Drinks and desserts were also incredible. Crème brûlée was beautiful. Can’t wait to return.

Poor service. No host, one waiter for the entire restaurant. Inattentive b/c he was the only staff person other than bar tender. Will not be back. Clearly understaffed.

Our waitress was very knowledgeable and attentive. She provided me with a GF menu. The drinks and food were amazing. The ambiance is very chic - like modern speakeasy vibes. Loved the music too! Perfect for a date night or dinner and drinks with friends!

Visited on NYE, so we were expecting it to be a bit busy and for service to potentially be a bit slower. What we ere not expecting was to wait over 20 minutes after being seated to be approached by our waiter for our drink and appetizer order. After the wait we decided to place our dinner order with our initial cocktail / drink / appetizer order… only for the apps to be delivered and for our waiter to come by about 15 minutes later to tell us the kitchen was closing and ask if we wanted to order any dinner - he completely forgot to key in our dinner order. By this point, the meal my partner selected was no longer available. Food was cold when it came out. Honestly, they have great potential and it could have just been the fact that it was NYE, but we didn’t have a very good experience.

It was our anniversary and they made it very special by bringing us a free dessert and some champagne at the end of dinner on the house with a cool firework / sparkler on the table. It was a great time, and the service was top notch. Highly recommend.

Vibes were off. Unsure if this was a staffing issue or what, but from the moment we walked in, service was beyond slow. There was zero sense of urgency displayed anywhere, by anyone. The food and drinks were over priced and did bit meet expectations. We had a fine time, but I have no plans to return here. In this economy, it’s tough to leave a $100+ dinner feeling disappointed.

Beautifully decorated. Innovative dining selections. The salmon was cooked perfectly matched with a very lively coconut curry sauce. Overall a great place that doesn’t get the accolades it should. Enjoyed it thoroughly .
