    Was such a nice brunch. Thanks to Ben for the excellent service and top-tier vibe. Also I forget the hostess’ name but she grabbed us her favorite spot outside by the fire. Top marks. Service and food really made our day! Really classy and modern offering and the decor and ambiance was next level.

    One of the worst meals I’ve had for the price/ ambiance. Calamari was on point though, the OLNY thing I liked about the food we ate. Artichoke flower came out within a min or 2 of ordering and was cold and bland. Server was nice but for the price of food this is not a high end experience. My filet was small and tasteless, comparable to black angus but with worse sides (burnt flavorless potato wedges). I didn’t even eat more than two bites of my dinner with no notice of me not liking my + $60 meal. No one cares. You can’t charge this much and not care. Will not be back if you didn’t know already lol. Lastly , the crème brûlée was so terrible. Never had a bad one in my life until now. No sugar burnt crust and the crème tasted like tasteless scrambled eggs, most gross dessert. Waste of $200 + money ever ugh

    Expect a fantastic date night! Dishes, beverages and service are excellent for a splurge dinner. Food service can be a little slow so expect to take your time. Thank you to the hostess who snapped our photos.

    The food was disappointing, awful if you consider the price. Our shrimp ceviche arrived looking half-eaten, the filet mignon (ordered medium-rare) was tough, and the prime rib was dry—likely because they forgot the au jus. While there was no visible blood, it still had a bloody taste. I literally watched a waiter clean a table next to us after the customers left, he swept all the food crumbs onto the chairs, and left some crumbs right in the middle on the table and just started placing new plates and utensils. I’ll give them points for the vibe and decoration, but that’s all.
