    Our server Kristian (Christian?) was attentive and professional, while also being personable. Only hiccup was we ordered oysters to have with our cocktails, and they came out with our appetizers. Unexpectedly, Kristian delivered a flute of champagne to us as we were at that point waiting on our bottle of red wine, for our dinner. That was a nice touch and a good save! The food was really outstanding. we had 2 filet entrees and one beef wellington in addition to apps and oysters. It was a great evening,

    We had a wonderful brunch at Artisan Bistro! We went before we saw the Nutcracker and our server was attentive, friendly and helpful. The food was delicious - we ordered an omelette, blueberry pancakes, avocado toast, Croque Madame and lobster benedict, which the kitchen made especially for us! The drinks were yummy, too. We had a great experience!

    Blu is a calm oasis I. A very busy part of town. The tables are well spaced out, the ambience and lighting just perfect for dining and the views are excellent. The food is good and somewhat conventional. But the service is really, really good. Our server, Val was knowledgeable, gentle, unobtrusive and there when we needed him. Rather old school but a rare treat compared to most restaurants in the area. Overall, we had a great experience.
