    We loved everything, but the soft pretzels with Parmesan fondue will not leave my brain. So. Good.

    I love this restaurant for the atmosphere and the service. The flourless chocolate cake was spectacular. The steak & lobster needed a side to go along with it.

    Service was outstanding very attentive. Food was average but slightly overpriced. Ambiance was good but with concrete floors it was loud, volume for me is 50% of the dining experience helping me relax. It was a new place for us to try and it was enjoyable but not impactful enough to return probably.

    We eat here frequently and are always very pleased. They are always fully booked, but I’ve never once had to wait past my reservation time. They handle the flow beautifully. Food is excellent and service always great. We sat outside on patio last night (February) and were toasty warm all evening. All around GREAT job.

    Party of five for brunch. The only thing I like more than brunch with my peeps, is brunch reservations. Thank you OpenTable for making this possible. The food was excellent and the service was impeccable.
