The space was dated, with dusty chachki's all around our table. The Steak Florentine was undercooked, the potato side dish was uninspired and the cheesecake was inedible. Big tab, save your money, go elsewhere!

Beautiful spot but the service was HORRIBLE. Also, food was essentially polished up airplane food. Go somewhere else, be treated better, and eat something that actually tastes like food.
