Every dish was exquisite and original (some entirely unique, others fresh takes on familiar things). We were a large group (8 of us). Our server (Graham) was perfectly attentive without being obsequious. An excellent pre-holiday family dinner outing!

Food is always very good. The Martini is just great and pairs with the quality and tasty Oysters as well. I ordered the Rack of Lamb, and it may be the best quality RoL I've had. Plus, live music. Its just a great place for a date or an upscale meeting with co-workers, friends, or family.

A lovely evening with a great special: risotto with beef cheeks, mushrooms and bell peppers. Our server Matthew was knowledgeable about dishes, wines and so accommodating throughout. It was my 75th birthday and I felt so special there.
