    We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the ingredients and meal preparation. We had the beef short rib hash, bavette steak and eggs, and herb omelette. The only complaint is the hash had too many potatoes and not enough beef. Service was attentive and we enjoyed the experience.

    Really nice looking restaurant, extremely nice and attentive staff. The food was delicious, only negative was we were disappointed with the clam chowder, it tasted like a delicious potato soup, but barely any clam flavor or pieces of clam. The ribeye steak was amazing and tiramisu was delicious. We will definitely be back, just not for the clam chowder.

    What a wonderful place to be on Christmas day( Fantastic fixed menu, fantastic drinks and what a very attentive staff from front desk to service. I want to thank Bill, my server for the evening and all the wonderful team members who worked on Christmas day to make someone else s day special. The view from any point of view is breathtaking. The chef and team should take a bow for the menu and the bartender for a wonderful mango Durango cocktail. What a gem of a restaurant, so classy, so chic so special. Keep up the great 5 Star service. I also appreciate the many times the manager and staff checked on a single woman. I felt so special.

    From the moment we were greeted by the hostess til time she was telling us to have a good night on our way out, our entire experience was truly on point! The food was spot on, we had roasted mushrooms and cauliflower for an appetizer, the duck and prime rib for our entree… all of it was as good as we’ve ever had it. The service was attentive, fast, friendly, and it seemed like we didn’t have to ask for much, he was just prepared and had enough foresight to ensure we were taken care of. Overall, an excellent experience! I cannot offer a criticism which is rare. We will definitely return.
