    It was a first date that I went on and the staff was so nice and helpful. They gave me great advice on cocktails and even recommended us places to go after they closed. I really recommend it also since the DJ played great music and it was a very romantic place

    I’m not sure if it was due to booking with open table but upon arrival we were immediately seated. Not only was it super quick but we got great seats! In the midst of Valentine’s Day rush we got to seat in a comfortable table while others were a bit crammed. I dine here regularly and it looked like they split tables up to allow for more couples to dine without wait. In absence of a holiday or special occasion all the seats are comfy and spacious 10/10 would recommend to others.

    General consensus from the party were outstanding. Appetizers were next level which included the bone marrow, bluefin tartare and the king crab stuff oysters. It really set the tone for the rest of the mains. Service was great from the staff and kept the tables clear and drinks full. The only exception to the meal was some of the mains. Over cooked and undercooked steaks that appeared to have been sitting for some time. Coming from a place where we have world class steak, the inconstancy we experienced was disappointing given the prices charged and what precluded this portion of the meal which many raves about. Overall pleasure and happy to recommend.
