I sat at the bar and the server was amazing. I had the five course tasting menu and I must say that it left quite a bit to be desired. It seems just restaurant is trying to be something they are not yet or trying to grow into it. The food was average, at best. The bison carpaccio had good quality meat but the mixture of the other items on the plate just didn't go well together. The foie gras was more of a pate. And finally the fish was grossly overcooked.

It was ok. My expectations were pretty high after reading prior reviews plus looking at the prices on the menu. Our waitress was awesome! Service was great. Food was good. Nothing special. Very expensive. Ambience was not impressive. Have had better espresso martinis. I don’t know for 2 people to eat and drink it was $300 and it just didn’t feel like we got $300 worth of food, drink, and ambience.

The entire experience was amazing. We were seated just before 8pm and were permitted to do the tasting menu even though that is supposed to end at 8. Food and drinks were delicious! Server was super attentive and friendly. Thankful we don't live closer or we would be making weekly reservations. It was expensive, but I'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for. Worth every penny!

This was the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. The bar staff was great. The manager was obviously intoxicated, sneaking red wine, and came out of the kitchen grinding her teeth. We were greeted with rudeness and Nicole gave us the wrong tasting menu even though we confirmed a month in advance. Several dishes were cooked poorly. Pasta that was under cooked leaving a raw flour texture in your mouth. When the lamb came out completely raw, literally cold to the touch, Nicole argued with us saying that it was medium rare. It was not. When it was brought back Nicole stared over us as we cut it and was incredibly rude when asking us if it was okay. We are an interracial couple and I can’t help but think that this played a role in us being treated so terribly. We left the 12 course tasting after the 9th course due to the improperly cooked food. We shared our experience with them and they insulted us and were extremely classless and rude. I wouldn’t go back to this place if I was paid. I hope Nicole gets the help she needs.
