Our server Bridget was attentive and engaging. The food was fantastic! We split several things including the caviar chive dip, truffle fries, filet trio, and crab stuffed lobster. All of it was delicious. The cocktails were perfectly executed and there’s a good wine list. There was a fun piano player and the volume wasn’t overpowering. We will definitely be back!
