The food was incredible! It was my second time there, and I absolutely loved it. The service could be a bit more organized, but overall, it was a great experience.

We were a party of four was greeted warmly and seated promptly with our reservations for a Saturday night. The place was busy, and is very loud. It was difficult to carry on a conversation with people at our table sitting across from us. The service was prompt but the waitress was not friendly nor did she come back to check on us in between serving the apps and dinner entrees. The food was a miss. The Hangar steak was way under done, it was ordered medium rare and was served rare. The restaurants is very dark, it was difficult to see the food. The pork chop was over cooked and the pasta bolognese tasted exactly like Chef Boyardee ravioli. The halibut was cooked well but the only food items we thought were excellent were the Parker House rolls, the brussel sprouts and the coconut cake Cocktails were made well and the support service staff helped our waitress. Overall the quality of food was not what should be expected, and more importantly not for what we paid. Go for the cocktails and the dessert, skip the dinner.

In my 65 years one of the best meals ever. Lovely, cozy and quiet dining room with good lighting (easy to read menu) and art. Superb food - Filet Diane w a creamy mustard sauce served over roasted potatoes was divine as was the risotto. My date had the bone in pork chop and raved as well. So glad I live and work in the neighborhood so it’s an ‘easy commute’. Can’t wait to go back for another truly great dining experience

Service was great! Hats off to Jenna! Food was not ideal. The bagel that was part of my salmon Benedict, was not fresh. Low quality

Way too packed and the reservation that I got was directly next to the kitchen on the very end of a very long, very noisy table. So, having been through this with them about 12 times before and recognizing that clearly they did not care about the uncomfortable conditions, I gave up and went to the restaurant across the street. Taking a sabbatical from this place for a while.

We went there for my anniversary. Waitress forgot our appetizer. When we mentioned it, they brought it out after the entrée, and it was cold. The manager came to our table while we were eating and asked us if we could get get up and move tables so he could accomidate a larger party, never mind that I had reservations and it was my anniversary. And yes, when I resvered our table I stated that it was for our anniversary. I also informed the restaurant and wait staff what we were celebrating, but I guess that doesn't matter when you see the prospect to make more money by accommodating a larger party who just walked off the street. That was the second time we had been there, and this time it was an extremely dissapointing experience

Great place for brunch. Food was very good my only suggestion if you get the overnight sourdough french ask for the lemon curd on the side.
