We chose the chef's tasting. At $90 tasting menu. Overall, the food was good. Portions a bit uneven. My wife was not a fan of the Skate but I enjoyed it. The filet was above average but not thrilling. We absolutely enjoyed the wall of wine. Between each course we would go to the self-service taps and try a new wine to pair. The staff were very good, friendly, and present. If you are in town, I would recommend their dinner service. We were not able to make it to the more casual upstairs bar as last call is 10pm.

Our server, Yvette, was wonderful. However, quite honestly, the food was overpriced and bland. I had the black cod that was served nigiri style, wrapped in seaweed and cut into three bites ($44). This was served over a small amount of thinly sliced small potatoes and surrounded with a couple of mushroom slices. In the bowl were 3 circles of chili and a miso consume was poured in the bowl. I could not taste the miso or the chili at all. My dinner partner had the filet mignon ($62) that was supposed to come with a potato, brisket, mushroom hash, but there were no potatoes. We had to order some fries. All she could taste was the char on the steak, and everything else (other than the fries) had no taste.
