      The staff very graciously accommodated our time constraints (had a show at 7:30) and dietary restrictions (which we sprung on them after sitting down). The food is always delicious, inventive, and high quality.

      We enjoyed our meal, but the chef uses an excessive amount of spice/pepper in his preparation. Didn't realize it is a prix fixe menu, which is fine, but greatly limits the selection. The wine list is also quite limited.

      Fantastic dinner experience. Tasting menu was exciting, fresh, vibrant. Wine pairing had some nice surprises, also thought was good value. Service on point, friendly and knowledgeable. Tables nicely spaced out, nice buzz in room but not too loud. Pretty perfect for our date night!
