Outstanding service, meal and ambiance! Mark B is the most attentive and knowledgeable server. His wine recommendations are on point. The food is always inventive, fresh and delicious. You really must put this place into your rotation. It never disappoints.

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!

The food and drinks were delicious and our space at our table was perfect. It's a little bit pricey for the food that you actually get. Maybe that's just our really horrible world at this time! Hopefully after January some things will begin to change.

The only thing that I can say is that our main course came out within 5 minutes of our salads. I know it is a busy time but our food was cold by the time we got to eat it.
