We were a group of 6, we ordered shareable small plates and every single one was beautifully presented and tasted great. Our entrees were also wonderful. I don’t think they serve a dish that isn’t a pleasing. We hit a night that wine was half off. If you can get a reservation… go! Service was excellent. Ambiance was modern and attractive. The place opens at 5, we had reservations at 5:30 and the place was already half full and lively. The only “downside” is the noise level, it was very loud. If your group has a problem with that.. the restaurant might not be a good choice for you. We would definitely recommend.

Dining and dancing to live music by Jerry LeNoir Players, can’t beat this experience! Loved seeing Virginia as a pro back up dancer. Just sheer joyful energy. Chicken Marsala, Caesar salad with huge grilled shrimp and a bottle of Entwine Merlot 2015 from California. All were prepared well and delivered with excellent service.
