    Nice space, nice menu, server was okay but didn’t refill our coffee/tea without our request. The staff seemed annoyed by us.

    Our service was great and the food was good but the drink prices were just silly. I get you are upscale but $19 for an old fashioned?

    It was very cold in the restaurant and the noise level was almost intolerable. It was hard to have a conversation with others at the table. Service was great.

    We went for Valentine’s Day. The ambiance was great and our server Stefan was fantastic. The food however was not very good and the meal overall was extremely overpriced. Wait time was also extremely long. We would visit again with a normal menu but won’t be back for special events.

    Nice modern ambience. Food mediocre. Mussels were dry and tiny instead of plump and juicy. Quiche had a crust like it had sat around for days before being reheated. Server seemed bored and disengaged. Will not be coming back.
