As always the ambience and service was outstanding. We have always loved the rack of lamb but the sauce should be served on the side we didn't realize it would be covered in the green sauce and it takes away from the beautiful lamb. The tuna tempura would be so much better not wrapped in the tempura...maybe tempura crunchies over top of the dish.

Overpriced. Husbands steak was very sinewy. Long wait between apps and dinner on a weeknight. No apologies offered. Other waiter walked by and kicked one of our empty chairs to put it under eg table to get it out of his way. He didn’t have anything in his hands. There were 5 of us not drinking a lot and it was $450 and one was a kid. Disappointed to say the least.

First, our waiter, Wilder, was outstanding with all of our questions and knowing exactly what we would prefer! Our Steaks were cooked perfectly, and we loved every side. The Brown Butter Blondie dessert was such a yummy dessert. Wonderful dinner!
