    I've been here a half dozen times. Honestly? The food keeps getting better. We had a reservation for 6:45 for 2 and they sat us at a high top near the bar. That doesn't work for my wife -- she's short and it's not comfortable. They then sat us at the table nearest the front door. The whole time we were there, there were empty tables. When we got there, while we were there, and when we left. Sorry, if they found it a bit inconvenient to adjust the seating . But, they had time, and for an upscale restaurant to not be able to do this. Well, sub par. The waiter, Colton, was great. He had been our waiter before, we were glad to have him again.

    Food is creative and delicious, as are the cocktails. Wine selection is very good. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Zack got it just right. Noise level was a nice, friendly buzz, but did not hinder conversation with our table mates. We really like this place!

    Delicious meal with great ambience and expert service. The salads were wonderful. Each component was special. Not often seen. The scallops were excellent and prepared to perfection. Amazingly every course was served with fresh silverware. Done as it should be, but very seldom is. Highly recommend.
