The food (grilled artichokes, Gerber Farms chicken with crispy parmesan potatoes, and butternut squash ravioli with prosciutto added) tasted great. The service was good. However, after the meal I became violently ill. I am going to blame it on unintentional cross contamination with an allergen and leave it at that.

Went with my fiancée, older brother, and his wife for a Sunday evening dinner. The food was excellent as expected! Unfortunately, I think the kitchen forgot to start preparing the entrees at a reasonable time. Therefore, our entrees didn't arrive until 9:15pm (reservation was at 7:30pm). Our waitress was very good, albeit her pace was a bit too slow. I really like how you can order the 1/2-sized pastas. The atmosphere is open concept. Would definitely return.

Food was divine. Very attractive restaurant. Our server was super sweet when she came to our table but sadly we felt very ignored for the most part. We were left waiting and a couple of our requests weren’t granted. Would still give it another try.

Have been there several times with great service and food. This last time it took awhile to even get seats at the bar while waiting for our table. Bar service was slow. Once seated it took awhile for our apps and meals.

Exceptional, elegant, outstanding. Our waiter Gregory was pleasant, courteous, gracious, considerate, thoughtful, understanding, accommodating, attentive and professional. Every dish of the Feast of the Seven Fishes was exceptional. Chef was superb. Staff was superb. Waiter was superb. Bartender that prepared our Old Fashion Bourbon was the best of the best. We genuinely hope that everyone has the best of holidays.

Brunch only on Sunday’s, which was very good. Just severely understaffed. They tried as hard as they could. Good spot with very good food. I’d recommend trying it if you are around the Fairmont or Market Square.
