    It was amazing. So tasty we went with kids and they were so nice to bring out toys for my kids to play with. The kids loved their pasta and I enjoyed the pistachio ravioli and the goat cheese dates. Husband had the tunisian rice bowl with lamb everything was top notch.

    A great place for a celebratory meal. Vibe is Rat Pack with a side order of 21st century clubstaraunt opulence. Stellar service, hit all the little marks that a lot of places miss these days. Nicci is an outstanding server. Definitely a $$$$ spot, but I think you get better quality for your money than many other steakhouses downtown. Uniquely delicious sausage and peppers; best tuna tartare I've had in ages; over the top king crab pasta. Sunday night they have Prime Rib -- stellar portion and great beef quality. LOVED the coconut cream pie with chocolate mousse NA beverage menu includes zero proof cocktails, wines and beer, nice touch.

    Perfect date night / birthday spot! All the food was exceptional and the service was excellent. One of our dishes took a bit longer because it’s prepared upstairs at Momotaro, but it was delicious. Staff even apologized for the wait time! (I’d wait for crispy beef fried rice again any day!) They brought out a dessert with a candle for my boyfriend’s birthday which was a perfect treat. Can’t wait to come back! ;)
