    We never made it past the shared plates, which were more filling than what some customer reviews suggested. But more to the point, they were terrific. We quickly realized that we were going to get something different from -- and far tastier than -- what we expected with each dish we ordered. But we did manage to squeeze in dessert. My only complaint is that I wish there were salad options, as something light with an acidic dressing would have been a nice counterpoint to the rich food.

    Nice experience. Bay scallops, squid, savory tart all very good! Spaghetti with lobster too saucy and couldn't taste the lobster. Skate tasted good, but we had to de-bone it ourselves, not realizing just how many bones there were!

    This place has that subtle cool yet upscale vibe without doing too much. Nothing phony here, all the focus is on the food and how to deliver the best experience to their guests. Did I say how much we loved the food?

    Everything we had was delicious and the server was very helpful and attentive. The space is beautiful and not too noisy, great for a part of four or more so you can try as many things as possible.

    I thought the food was spectacular. A real treat for those of us who want to have something different. That even good cooks. Rarely prepare at home. My only complaint was that they brought our many dishes too quickly and in some respects and awkward combination. I would definitely go back again, but ask the staff to have the food brought out in a different order

    What a fantastic meal! Casual yet attentive/knowledgable service, and knockout food. Highlights were the Hen Of The Woods Mushrooms and the Swordfish Schnitzel.

    Service was quite slow. The girl was very pleasant, however, I had to ask somebody to come over and bring us water after sitting for close to 10 minutes. And then it took another 15 minutes to get a drink. Once underway, everything was good.
