                                                          Very nice place! It was on the pricey side but in my opinion it was worth every penny. I tried new things that I thought I would’ve never eaten. The servers were the best! I would definitely go back again.

                                                          Food was just average, the Duck was fatty and chewy. Did not live up to expectations. Service was very good, server and Maitre de were very good and accommodating.
