We walked in on NYE without a reservation and they graciously found us a spot in the bar area. Service was on point and staff were festively dressed! I love a crafty cocktail but most are too sweet. I had the Smokey mezcal cocktail 🍹. Perfection. Appetizers were delish as well. Perfect way to start our NYE celebrations.
This is seriously the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. This is my fourth time here in about a year and it has been incredible every single time. I’ve come with different people each time and it is just amazing.
Everyone I have brought thanks it is equally amazing! The combinations of flavors that are put together in each dish is just so inventive, creative, and delicious. I love this place!

I hosted a large group work dinner here this week and it was fantastic! We had 12 people in a semi private mezzanine. Our server Michael was absolutely top notch. The food and beverages were so good, and everyone left full and happy! The duck was so flavorful, tender and rich, but really everything we had on the pre-fixe / family style menu was a hit from starters to dessert. 10/10 would go back.
