It was mynson and my birthday and there was no acknowledgement of our birthdays even though it was on the reservation so that was disappointing. Otherwise, the food was good.

Overall fun vibe, the server did a nice job of being involved but not circling constantly given it was slower. I would recommend doing a better job holding up your dress code standards, gentlemen allowed to enter in sneakers, running shoes and golf shorts throw off the overall vibe. Food was good and drinks are high quality, but you can get both for less and no cover at similar venues

Very good all around dining experience. The one thing you should get rid of is the bathroom attendant. I really don’t need someone to turn the water on put soap in my hand and hand me a drying towel. Feels like I am back in the 70’s and why would I tip for something like that….

Very lovely dinner last night. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Interesting and creative flavor combinations. The tuna was amazing as was the steak. The staff was extremely friendly,attentive, and knowledgeable. Only downside we saw was the ambient noise level was quite high.
