It was a perfect medium and super tender. We hope to get in another visit to try the other menu options, date night ends at the end of March. The only thing that bugs me is that when I make a reservation on Open Table and put in a special occasion, the information does not seem to get to the restaurant. We noted it on the reservation and none of the staff mentioned it.

The Octopus was also good. For $35/PP it was outstanding value and the views are great as well. the only downside was that a number of the wines (on the very good list) were not available. Service a plus and value for $$ outstanding.

(I am a regular consumer of gin martinis in restaurants.) Quality was fine, but I very much doubt that this one was even one ounce! I forget the price, may have been $14, reasonable anyway for this type of restaurant. When I mentioned this to our waitress - otherwise top notch, I got a comment about increasing restaurant costs, so "the bartenders now are measuring every drop..." (That would mean that this was in fact on purpose - even worse... It didn't require measuring to see the problem, in a typical rocks glass it was obvious.) NOTE: I do NOT want any follow-up to this note!

Often times during restaurant week portion are smaller but this was not the case. Full size portions. Everything was fantastic and we each tried something different. It is a beautiful setting but not too fussy either. The service was a bit slow but they acknowledged it and offered to comp our drinks which is fair. We will definitely return

My husband and I shared the Beet Salad and the Gnocchi with mushrooms as an appetizer. We both had the Bolognese as our entree. The portion was very generous and delicious. You can’t beat the view from the 16th floor of the sunset. Carly, our server, was the best. She was attentive and we never felt rushed.
