    We chose this high-end restaurant for our company holiday party, expecting an unforgettable dining experience, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. While the food was good, it certainly didn’t justify the premium price tag. The dishes were flavorful but not exceptional — the kind of meal you’d expect from a solid mid-range spot, not somewhere commanding such a hefty bill. What truly dampened the evening, though, was the service. Our server had an unmistakably apathetic attitude, making us feel more like a burden than valued guests. From the start, he seemed uninterested in engaging with us or providing any kind of meaningful experience. There were multiple instances when we had to ask for things that should have been attended to without prompting, like removing empty glasses or clearing plates. When our food arrived, it came without any context or explanation — something we’ve come to expect at fine-dining restaurants. One guest didn’t receive their dish until everyone else had started eating, and when we pointed this out, the response felt more like irritation than an apology or solution. While the evening wasn’t a disaster, it certainly didn’t meet the standards one would hope for at such an expensive establishment. The overall experience was underwhelming, with a sense of indifference from the staff and a lack of attention to detail. It wasn’t terrible, but it certainly wasn’t memorable in a positive way. We left feeling disappointed, especially given the expectations we had set for a holiday celebration.

    Had a birthday dinner with some friends. Our server was great besides the extra drink charged on our bill nobody ordered and our beef was a bit dry. Apps were great

    Smelled horrible from sewage possibly and food was extremely overprice. We ordered a $150 steak and left the restaurant still hungry.

    I've dined here a few times and had good experiences in the past, but this visit was disappointing. The chicken sandwich was just okay, and the potatoes were bland and lacking flavor. We also informed the staff about nut allergies, and despite confirming this with her, she brought out gluten-free scones made with almond flour. This left my wife feeling uneasy about potential cross-contamination throughout the meal. As locals, we’ve enjoyed supporting this place, but after this experience, we’re not sure we’d return or recommend it to others.

    The server mixed up our steaks and we had started eating. Mine was over cooked so I told the server. She said oh the server mixed up the steaks and then switched our plates! Good thing it was just me and my sister dining.

    We had reservations for a table for 2 and were seated in a sections of only 2-tops. Noise level is very high. Tables are if even 12” apart. You can easily listen in on others conversations. We were unfortunately sat next to 2 very intoxicated people on one side and a couple on the other contemplating their unbearable holiday plans. Service was mid. Food was mid
