The food and service are always amazing however when the hostess was re-situating tables she could have lifted instead of dragged to not disrupt dinging guests

The atmosphere, the decor, the service were all 5 stars, however my food came raw, yes, and I ordered Chicken…Limone. I sent it back to cook, they reheated the two chicken breasts I had and gave me another to make up for it I suppose but the new chicken breast was ALSO raw in the center. They weren’t even going to ask when they came back and saw the entire chicken on the plate still untouched. So, my boyfriend’s mom had to ask them to please remove it off the bill. Just be aware, I wish the kitchen was better because the menu was great, the service was great and the restaurant is beautiful. I understand it’s the holidays and it can be stressful but I don’t mess around with food temperature, especially when it’s chicken.

Average food. Escargot and chocolate torte was good. Trout was overdone. Sea bass was not listed as being served whole fish so my friend had to send back. Probably best to note this on menu . Wine list could be improved- average wines.
