Extraordinary experience from beginning to end. The maitre d’ recognized our request for a bourbon tasting with dinner and made sure to seat us at a table in Ross’s section. Ross was a delight. Funny, efficient, and knowledgeable with the menu and especially the bourbon. After asking us questions on type, style, price, he created a tasting that was perfect beginning to end. I am going to dream about my halibut main course and my husband raved about the Caesar salad. We will definitely be back when we come to town.

The food was excellent. They were able to make a small substitution with a sauce because I don't like truffles.

Been a while since we've eaten here. Still satisfying. Great food! I don't say "great" lightly. Everything was delicious from the kale salad with buttermilk vinaigrette, the beef carpaccio, the charred beet toast with buttermilk ricotta and horseradish, and our mussels and petit filet. Interesting cocktails. Highly recommended!
