Overall fun vibe, the server did a nice job of being involved but not circling constantly given it was slower. I would recommend doing a better job holding up your dress code standards, gentlemen allowed to enter in sneakers, running shoes and golf shorts throw off the overall vibe. Food was good and drinks are high quality, but you can get both for less and no cover at similar venues

Party of 4 and we split the giant lobster tail and a19 oz ribeye. Waiter offered to cut it all which made it very easy to serve. Excellent wine list but few options at lower price points This is a top restaurant in every way but you pay dearly for it.

Very lovely dinner last night. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Interesting and creative flavor combinations. The tuna was amazing as was the steak. The staff was extremely friendly,attentive, and knowledgeable. Only downside we saw was the ambient noise level was quite high.
