    The brisket was perfection. The sauces aren’t needed, the spicing holds up on its own

    The server brought the wrong champagne after I clarified twice which one I wanted. The food was good but half of it was cold. Didn’t want to send it back since it took an hour to prepare. It was also my birthday (they were aware of it from the reservation). No dessert or even acknowledgement of a “Happy Birthday” from the server. Overall, not even close to worth $120 for dinner…

    The food and drinks were delicious, as usual, but the service was a bit slow this time. We waited a long time between courses. But overall still great!

    Great open space; my friends were surprised there wasn't a second story or balcony but it adds to the ambiance. We went for the Winterlicious menu; the food was delicious, presentation was great, and portions were more than enough. I personally loved the salmon tartare and one of my friends loved the pickerel. We also appreciate being made aware that we required more time to have the Winterlicious experience as I had originally booked for only 1.25 hours and that definitely wouldn't have been enough.

    They knew what they were doing getting a Winterlicious menu! We hadn’t even heard of the place before, but snuck in a reservation on our way to a concert because of Winterlicious, and we will absolutely be returning! The food, the ambiance, service, bang on! Thank you for a lovely start to a lovely evening!
