    I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant while celebrating my friend’s birthday! The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, creating the perfect setting for our celebration. We started with the mussels, which were fresh, tender, and bursting with flavor. The brisket beef was absolutely melt-in-your-mouth, cooked to perfection with rich, savory flavors. The Caesar salad was crisp and light, balancing the richness of the other dishes beautifully. For drinks, I tried both a White Russian and a Phoenix cocktail – both were expertly crafted, with the White Russian being smooth and indulgent, while the Phoenix had a bold, refreshing twist. The staff made the birthday celebration even more special with their warm and attentive service. Overall, the combination of great food, amazing cocktails, and a wonderful atmosphere made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this place for any occasion – it’s perfect for celebrating with friends!

    Food is consistently very good (their bibimbop is a personal favorite - and the toffee pudding is incredible), service is always professional and attentive, the bar makes good drinks, and the setting is comfortable - if a bit loud (which can be good or bad depending on your audience, evening).

    This is my go-to restaurant for a business lunch. The food is excellent as is the service. The seafood is always fresh, well prepared and plated and given their affiliation with Benjamin Steak Houses, the meat is also first rate.

    Incredible filet mignon, extremely tender, nicely charred and flavorful. Enjoyed the appetizers, side dishes. Service was superb. Can’t wait to return.
