    This restaurant is top notch! Staff are very welcoming, you get smile from them right by the door and be seated even if you come in earlier than your reservation. Their food and drinks selection are excellent! You get the live music (singer) while dinning. Server will explain to you what you ordered in language that you will prefer to speak.

    Lovely restaurant. We were there on a very cold day and coming from the outside into a warm, cozy, modern place felt amazing. We were offered a coat check, which was mind blowing for an American. We had reservations and we were seated right away , nice little table by the window. The restaurant was busy, lots of people enjoying themselves sipping wine and having conversations, so it was noisy, but in a good way. Our waitress was really attentive and pleasant. Food was great. I tried the bone marrow pasta, tasted delicious, but too much for me, and portion wise and “ too fatty “, in a good way though, I took it to go. My son really enjoyed it later. He also loved his NY steak. Amazing experience. I would totally come back and recommend.
