    Food was great and server was excellent at guiding us through our menu choices. Service towards the end was a little slower and it was very dark but overall had a wonderful time.

    Yay, trained and professional wait staff and servers! This makes a huge difference to a dining experience. The food was delicious and served in acceptable portions so that diners may partake of several courses without feeling too full, too empty, or wasteful. My standouts were the hamachi with a soy vinaigrette and duck poivrè. For my husband, it was the best lobster bisque that he can remember. It is a go-to for him. He’s partaken of it at many top notch restaurants around the country. He enjoyed the halibut and creamed spinach. I had intended to have steak but the steak portions were just too large for me. The smallest was a 6 or 8 oz filet. Maybe I could have handled one though because my duck breast must have been very close in size and I left none. Oh, my husband loved the popover at the start of the meal. I’ve had better but again, I left none. Maybe it was the delicious rosemary honey butter? Plan on $125 per person minimum for a complete dining experience, sans alcohol. Valet parking.

    The food, drinks, dessert, experience as a whole was extremely pleasant! I went for my birthday celebration and they had everything tailored and catered. I enjoyed every minute of it. If I had to leave a comment, it would just be that I read the valet was $10 and it was actually $15. I’m glad I had enough cash for that and tip. Other than that, it was solid 10! I highly recommend.
