    Food was outstanding and great atmosphere. Downstairs can be loud because of bar area- request upstairs if trying for a more romantic dinner.

    Our server rushed us through the meal. Spending $155 per head plus alcohol. It’s not the dining experience I remember from this establishment.

    Good Morning Victor, Thank you so much for your review and letting us know about you experience. I did review your reservation and dining experience; it does show that you were with us for about 2 hrs and 25 minutes; which is an acceptable time for a table of 4 and a 3 course prix fixed menu. Many guests join us after dinner in our lounge to continue the night as we will never rush anyone out. Our team works very hard to provide the best dining experience. Your review will be addressed at our daily staff meeting. Have a wonderful day, Kevin
