Ambiance was great, food was a mixed bag and not very creative. First course/appetizer with the scallop was very good. Main course baked potato was underdone (crunchy) and pretty basic. Beef filet was good. Red velvet cake was pretty basic, as was the overall meal. Service was very good. Not a great value overall, so we will probably stick with Niche.

Our overall dining experience was good. However are appetizers and salads came out at the same time. Then our meal came out to 10 minutes later. The table was smal and there was just no room. It was very rushed. We had the chicken spieindi and it was a bit dry and different than your typical spieindi it was more breaded not grilled. The drinks were top notch and the restaurant itself is beautiful. The bread pudding is one of the best we've ever had. However, when the main course itself should be the star but t wasn't.
