    Lovely to have this restaurant back ! All the food was done perfectly- we had salmon,steak, waterman salad and mezze platter. The ambiance is always so comfortable for talking and relaxing! Service was attentive but not overly so - no rushing :) overall, a great experience for our group of 5!

    We came on a Sunday night on the earlier side. It got busier toward the end of our reservation. We had great service overall and the food was delicious. We ordered the charcuterie board and deviled eggs for an appetizer; she got the filet mignon medium rare and side of asparagus; and I ordered the wagyu burger medium rare, which came with truffle fries. Deviled eggs were amazing; charcuterie was decent (but we are comparing to other amazing ones from our journey). Both dinners cooked to absolute perfection just as we ordered it. Steak quality was great and was similar to a top notch steakhouse. Burger was outstanding and melted in my mouth. Truffle fries did not have a truffle taste. But they were definitely good otherwise. We typically do not go back to restaurants, as we are trying to go to different spots. However, we confirmed before the check came that we would break that rule to try some of the other items on the menu. All in all great experience!
