The experience of myself and my family was wonderful. We loved the look of the place the fill of the place weight. Staff was great couple of the food we didn't love but on the overall balance everything was good.

A cold air fan was blowing down on us and they couldn’t move us or turn down the fan. In tiny print they note the added 3% surcharge. A new restaurant and they can’t just put true price on menu?

The restaurant is outstanding and beautiful. The food is outstanding. The service was a little slow at first, especially for a Monday night (but it was packed, on a Monday night!) And the line cook salting the crispy potatoes was waaaaay too heavy handed. I politely and not even remotely annoyed mentioned it to the server and they comped both the potatoes and one of our desserts, which was totally unnecessary and unexpected. We would come back again and again. In fact this is my second trip!

We had a great dinner, food was really good, the waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable. The reason for the lower review is that the bill was incorrect, we asked to redeem Lettuces entertain you points, the waitress made a mistake and didn't redeem points, I didn't even receive the points for the dinner, when we brought it up, she asked a manager and came back to say that they could not reverse the transaction.

Beautiful restaurant and ambiance. I could rave about that, but it’s the food. Every. Single. Bite. Perfection. And no matter what you eat- and there’s plenty to choose from- leave room for the date cake, which is the stuff dreams are made of.
