A consistent favorite! My daughter loves to celebrate her birthday here. Recognizing the occasion, the staff contacted me and arranged for a special table upstairs (her favorite!) They even accommodated us early. Zoe was our server and made the experience so special for us. Love this place!

Outstanding food and service. We had fantastic service from Dominic and he helped with several recommendations. The oysters were some of the best we’ve had, tuna tartare was delicious, sea bass buttery and cooked perfect, seared tuna also great. Dirty goose martinis were very smooth, and wine very flavorful. They provided free birthday dessert after dinner which was also great. One of the best meals we’ve had in a long time from start to finish. Only thing not 5 star was price, it is expensive.

We celebrated our anniversary here and it was a great choice! The drinks were great, our steaks were flavorful and cooked perfectly, and the mac and cheese and the potatoes au gratin were delicious. The little fire they did around our white chocolate and bourbon bread pudding was so cool! We can not wait to come back.
