We had a fabulous dinner. We ordered the cheese and focaccia appetizer it was delicious. We followed with the Alchemi salad which was filled with fresh vegetables and the dressing was light and perfect for that salad. We then shared an entree of lobster shrimp pad Thai. Everything including our service was great!

I wanted to love this place. The server was really nice and attentive. The whiskey drinks I had were uninspired and really underwhelming. Overall, the food lacked seasoning.

Delicious food, great staff & setting. Seemed like restaurant is understaffed with how long we waited to be served drinks but everything was amazing.

We were instantly greeted and seated. Our server Robby was awesome. The entire staff was friendly. Chef Johnny is very talented and friendly. I love that he greets all guest and will even bring your food out himself. For starters we had the shrimp and crab cakes. They were crispy on the outside and melted in your mouth. The surprise with these was that there was whole shrimp inside. We loved it. The sauce on top was just the right amount. The salmon with saffron rice, coconut curry sauce and green apple slaw was the best salmon I've had in a while. The pairing was new for me but it worked. The salmon was juicy and perfectly cooked. When paired with everything on my plate it was like fireworks. Everything popped and was amazing. My husband had the beef strudel. Now he was thinking it was gonna be like a beef wellington but no. When he put his fork into the perfectly crispy flaky crust and into the most tender beef either of us have ever had, OMG. With the first bite all he could do was say "WOW"(sorry about how loud he was). The flavors of that plate were incredible. The blueberry cheesecake was the icing on the cake. It was perfect. Sweet but not too sweet and the smear of lemon sauce on the side elevated the flavors. The drinks. I had the rainforest and my husband had the Johnny Manhattan. When we saw how small the glasses were we were definitely worried. That feeling quickly faded with the first sip. The drinks may be small but they are strong and delicious. We had to pace ourselves with those. Overall, I give this place a 10/10 and will definitely be back again soon. Thank you to everyone there for a great time and for great service.

Great ambiance and good noise level to have conversations. Food was amazing, service was fantastic. Mixed drinks were great. I do wish more beer or beers on tap but It’s not a dealbreaker

Everything was spot on. I was locked with indecision over the menu- too many great choices! Ended up with the Waygu Strudel. It's exactly as amazing as it sounds. Sammi was outstanding behind the bar. I'll definitely be back.

Was a bit disappointed. Food was very average. Whilst service was very friendly it was poor. Had to remind server to bring wine. Server seemed rushed and inefficient.
