“Fabulous food and terrific service and hospitality from a friendly and professional staff. My wife and I both took the wine pairing and the selection and quality of the wines were flawless. Unlike another high-end restaurant where we had dinner a few months ago, there was nothing stingy about the pours at Chez Noir. It's a pricey meal to be sure, but we both thought it was worth it and will definitely re-visit.“

“We had very nice anniversary dinner at Stationaery. We sat outside, since we still do not feel comfortable for an indoor seating due to pandemic. The evening was cool, but heating lamps made it comfortable for longer and leisure meal. Both food and service were excellent. We highly recommend this friendly restaurant and will be back for sure🤩“

“Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere but the last visit we had the service was not good. We were seated at a high top table in the bar area. After we received our initial drinks the server never returned. We sat there over an hour before someone else came by. Unfortunately the lack of service continued even after that. The manager came over to assist and he was wonderful. He was very apologetic about everything and ended up comping our entire bill.“
