    I've now been here two times and the food has been excellent overall. I could personally do without the frequent use of chili slices. Other than that, the flavors and textures are marvelous. The brioche bread and hummus are delectable. I feel like every dish is a slam dunk - too bad there isn't a sampler platter! The decor is lovely, a few discreet fabric panels might help with the noise as its a bit hard to hear the people across from you - the sound bounces around the cavernous space. The crowd seems very chic, a bit eccentric in a fun way and more adult - that's probably the price point keeping out the under 30 crowd.

    First time but certainly not the last! Warm greeting from the valet, followed by the same from the hostess. Pleasant professional warm. Seated immediately Waitperson(Jordan) was friendly and as first timers we leaned on him. A great trust Several of the Mezze followed by the Dourade, sunshine carrots, and a potato dish. All were just off the charts taste wise and presentation wise. Waitstaff, food runners and bus staff top notch. Will return soon
