We love George! proposed to come back every year on the date that I propose to my wife. We’ve been doing this for 11 years now. Not only is the food great, and the sommelier-based wine pairings are phenomenal, it’s also the little things like them remembering exactly where we sit, and they give us the same booth every time without even asking. I can’t say enough good things about the staff, the food, the ambience. It’s definitely Worth to go for a special occasion!

The vibe was nice and calm. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful! Food was good, however I asked for my steak to be medium well and it was well done which threw my dinner off a bit. Other than that, service was amazing.
