    This is going to be our new favorite haunt. The food was tremendous, favorites including the onion-lava butter (heavenly), the bone marrow-beef carpaccio and the octopus dish. The chef clearly loves what they do. It shows through the food. The custom crafted cocktails were wonderful as well. Service was perfect. Thank Dylan!

    Lunch on MLK Day was a delight! My friend and I sat at the bar and had fabulous sandwiches + salad, and sparkling wine from the Loire Valley. I think the bartenders were quite busy so the service at the bar wasn't quite as attentive as is ideal but it was a day off from work and we were in no rush. I found the lunch menu excellent value for money and can't wait to return. Thank you Josephine!

    The ambience and view are great. Service was good. However, two frustrations. There were no age restrictions mentioned online or in person, and yet my friends with a three year old daughter were not allowed to stay. And there was a mixup with the credit cards where the wrong card was charged.
