   Had the prefix menu and was okay - some dishes more stand out. The main was the duck which was cooked well but wasn't crispy on outside. The whole menu was $125 pp which is pretty reasonable for the area but would do a la cart in future. Good service and cute decor but nothing special. Strong drinks which was appreciated!

   It’s a great time overall very quiet on a Tuesday perfect for a date night highly recommend bringing your own wine but the food is great, the NY strip was perfectly cooked can’t go wrong and all the pastas we’re fantastic gives bottega and other restaurant in the area a run for there money.

   Amazing experience and very pleasant surprise. Michelin star rated restaurant/hotel. Make sure you have Reid serving and walking you through the amazing food/wine pairing, and make sure Adam is making your cocktails! BEST in the area! If you decide to stay there, make sure you speak to Carter at the front desk for any special arrangements and don't forget their spa!

   Fantastic tasting menu for the price, much better than auberge de sole which was a disappointment. Design was pleasant, noise was minimal.

   Food and service was great. Only issue. Pasta dishes around $30 so a couple of people chose them. . Asked if we wanted some shaved truffle. No explanation of additional cost!!! Cost of truffle $55. Without saying the cost that is a bit deceptive as the dish then costs $85. So truffle$110 pasta $60. Sly.

   Hi Jim, We're really glad to hear that you enjoyed the food and service. We deeply regret that the lack of transparency around the additional cost of the truffles. We completely understand how frustrating it can be when pricing isn’t clearly communicated, and we sincerely apologize for any confusion caused. We truly appreciate your honesty and hope we have the chance to serve you again soon. Best, Juan Cabrera Executive Chef

    The service was friendly and kind, and the ambiance was cozy. Unfortunately the food was pretty mediocre. I had the arancini from the bar, which was basic and rather bland. I was there on Thanksgiving and had the turkey dinner. Not terrible, not great. The biggest disappointment was I was offered hot apple pie for dessert- and I want to point out the fact that it was served warm was included in the initial description, unsolicited by me. However I said I love a warm pie and ordered it. It was served ice cold. The waiter took it back to heat it. It was served cold second time - the outside was very slightly warmer but one bite was enough to know it was far from warm. They were kind enough to remove it from my bill but overall I was underwhelmed by my meal.

    Thank you for your detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize for the temperature issues with the apple pie and the underwhelming food quality. While we're glad our service team was attentive, we clearly fell short on execution, particularly with the arancini and turkey dinner. We take pride in serving hot dishes at the proper temperature, and serving a cold pie twice is unacceptable. Though we removed it from your bill, we understand this affected your overall experience. We'll share this feedback with our kitchen team to improve our quality control. We hope you'll give us another opportunity to provide the dining experience we strive for.
