Smaller plates were awesome but the larger protein (right side of menu) dishes were not great. For the price I would expect mouth watering greatness... average at best is what we got. The service was great but they keep the front door open so the bar area is very cold this time of year and I had to wear my jacket the whole time we were there. If I ever went back I would stick to drinks and the left side of the menu... but likely won't be going back considering how pricey it is.

Came here to celebrate our anniversary and we were not disappointed! We ordered 5 things which was the perfect amount to split between two people. Some of our favorite dishes were the scallop crudo, seaweed noodles, and jerk pork chop. The moschofilero wine was great and we also ordered a celebration cake (the seasonal fruit flavor is DELICIOUS)

Food was good, service was good. It was too bad that I gave our credit card to our waitress to make sure the bill charge to our card. She hand the bill to my husband with just a total without itemized list. We have no way to know what was charged nor if there's tips included. Next day I email the restaurant, all they did is gave me the link to see the itemized bill. I really dont think this is a industry practice and that really gave me a bad taste in my experience!!

Very inventive, impeccably executed food. Unexpected and interesting ingredient combinations that were blended in harmonious, perfect balance with taste and texture. Presentation was also nice for most dishes. One of the best meals I've had in a long while.

The Progress is always such a delight. The staff are excellent, the food is so novel, and the space is absolutely beautiful!!

There is one dish everyone should order here, the Liberty duck from Sonoma. Moist, tender, tasty and not chewy like I've had at other places. And the non-dairy peanut milk which was like drinking a tiny shot of liquified peanut butter. It's a shame they only give you a tiny amount. Our waitress was OK, but professional. Some of the nicest and friendliest staff who waited on us at restaurants was during our trip this year to Massachusetts. The rest of the food was OK. Potatoes were tasty but the dish was just 6 small potatoes. We liked the lamb dish too but if given a choice, hands down we'd order the $80 duck, again. I didn't care for the cucumber dish. Most of the other dishes we shared between the 4 of us, I didn't think was memorable. For a weekday, the place was packed. A fella walked in ahead of us and was told it'd be a 1-1.5 hrs wait without reservations. By the time we left, there were plenty more awaiting a table. The noise volume got louder as the night went on.

Very interesting flavors. The duck was outstanding. Service seemed a little disjointed with many different servers. Noise level was too high.

First we were given a smelly table near the restroom which we did not like at all even though we were formally dressed. Salad was tasty. The duck.breast was super but the leg and the wing was too tough not the level of a one Michelin restaurant. White wine by glass was awful.

Delicious food and impeccable service in a modern yet elegant vibe. We loved not just the appetizers and entrees, but also the drinks and the desserts. We would definitely go there again to try the other entrees and appetizers.

The service was superb, food fabulous & overall experience well worth the cost & special effort in scheduling reservations in advance. Highly recommended as this was to celebrate my wife's birthday which the restaurant staff made special effort to make the event memorable.
Loved it so much. The duck was amazing. Didn't love how close the tables were to each other though

Everything you order is unique and an experience. The service is outstanding and the ambiance is incredible. I have two complaints. They pour a very small wine glass pour even for the City's standards. I think it was like 4 oz maybe less. Oh and I know they might come on here and say it is more but they use small wine glasses to make it look bigger but it is not. My second complaint is please put some more vegetable options. Last night I thought I was ordering something with veggies and it was mostly pasta and some veggies. Everything is great there. Honestly, I'll go back again and again. The staff are the best experience I have had at a restaurant in a long time. Just add an ounce to those pours and add some veggies to the options.

We went earlier in the evening which could be a factor with noise level. I'd say around 7 it started getting a little louder but not too bad where you couldn't have a conversation. The food was all delicious. We got the cloud caviar, fried green tomatoes but with tempura since my partner can't have gluten, the halibut, eggplant and prosciutto, and the duck.

As always, a delicious meal and warm and welcoming service. Stewart and his team are just the best.

This is a beautifully designed, comfortable and elegant space perfect with their amazing, perfect appetizers and mains. The halibut and duck standout!
