Went for a birthday dinner with my son and my sister. Restaurant was quiet (although it was a Thursday night). Food was pretty good and service was ok. Not going to rush back, but overall a decent experience.

We went here last night to celebrate our anniversary and had such a great experience. We started out downstairs in the bar for happy hour, and honestly that ended up being our favorite part of the night. The vibe downstairs was warm and lively without being too loud, and the drinks and appetizers set the tone for a really fun evening. After that, we went upstairs for dinner and ordered the filet and the surf-and-turf. The food was very good — maybe not the single best steak we've ever had, but for the price it absolutely delivered and felt worth what we paid. Everything was cooked well and nicely presented. Overall, it was just a really enjoyable evening from start to finish. Between the great atmosphere in the bar, the solid food, and the happy hour, it made for a memorable anniversary dinner. We'd definitely come back — especially to hang out downstairs again!

Service: Service was slow and inattentive. I am writing this while waiting 35 min for a server to come over and clear our plates. Our entrees were rushed out before our first course was finished. We had to remind the staff to bring out the champagne that came with the NYE menu. Food: Food was hit or miss. We opted for the NYE menu and ordered the surf and turf and prime rib. Prime rib was delicious. Surf and turf was 50/50. The lobster tail stood out but steak was overcooked and chewy. The Smoke on the Water cocktail was tasty. They ran out of the NYE dessert and gave us a pistachio cake which was very good. Atmosphere: The environment felt upscale, but too many little mistakes cheapened it. Table wasn't set when we were taken to it. Champagne came out in wine glasses. Overall: There are better restaurants near by that provide just as good of food, better service, and cost significantly less.

Delicious, well prepared food with excellent service. Nice variety of apps, entrees. Can have a conversation because it is not loud. Had time to enjoy our meal.

It was my first time dining here, and I had a wonderful experience! I loved the vibe of the restaurant and the music in the background.

I had 2 dishes - the charred octopus and the pan seared halibut.

The charred octopus was cooked to perfection - I loved the pop of the pepper puree too.

I loved the sweetness of the coconut sauce and how it perfectly accompanied the savory halibut. Jasmine rice was also cooked perfectly.

Thanksgiving dinner out, really great. Served family style with plenty of leftovers to take home with us. Delicious.

Reliably excellent. The cheese and onion appetizer (really a deconstructed French onion soup) was wonderful. Very good bread. Branzino was good but not special. Fabulous service.

Wonderful dining experience. Oysters were some of the freshest I've ever had, and the filet mignon dish was well balanced and satisfying. For a sub-100 per person restaurant, this place gets a a lot right. Relaxing view overlooking the street from the window tables.

We chose this restaurant for my daughter’s coming home dinner, expecting something special, especially from a place that claims to hold a Michelin star. Unfortunately, the entire experience was a disappointment from start to finish.

Despite receiving a confirmation message welcoming us just 30 minutes before our arrival, we were told there was no reservation on file. Thankfully, the restaurant was nearly empty, so we were seated right away, but that should have been the first red flag.

Wine was poured out of sight, so we had no idea what was actually being served. The food itself was underwhelming and uninspired; we didn’t finish a single dish. By the time dessert was offered, we declined, the experience had already fallen far short of expectations.

This restaurant does not live up to Michelin standards, and sadly, what was meant to be a celebratory evening turned into a major letdown.

Food was good but nothing special. Service was extremely slow and ordered appetizer was never delivered.

Excellent food. Strangest wine list I have ever seen...mostly from Australia but very drinkable. 50% off bottles on Wednesdays but I was unable to convince them that since was Wednesday in Australia, that should suffice.
