Steak sandwich was inedible, was not eaten and server refused to take it off the bill. Instead of taking the $10 lunch special off our bill, the server brought out a raw steak to show us “look, that’s just how they are, a lot of fat” … Regarding the comment on my husband’s review that you usually don’t do “half and half sandwiches” or “free refills” I don’t know what you’re referring to - I got the chicken sandwich my sister got the steak sandwich in hopes to split each meal so we could each try both sandwiches. Is that not allowed? We also only got water to drink, what free refills are you talking about? I went here on Thanksgiving last year and was horrified at the food quality but assumed it was just because of it being a busy holiday, after trying to give it another chance this time and experiencing even worse food and service, I will definitely never return again. Bad way for a newer place in town to treat their customers when the food in the cafeteria at Morristown hospital is Michelin star in comparison. Bummer!

Gave us disgusting sandwich, completely undercooked and cold. We didn’t eat it and asked for refund and refused. AWFUL SERVICE. Originally messed up our dishes so we had to wait for my grandmothers food for 30 minutes while the rest of us waited to eat. Definitely just go across the street to Stonewood. They actually have great service and better food. Definitely will not be returning. Cannot believe a newer restaurant in the area has this bad of service and food. Cannot wait to tell everyone in the area about our experience.
Reply to unprofessional owner:
“Half and half sandwiches”??
My family and I ordered two sandwiches and physically handed each other half of each sandwich to make it half and half? I’m unclear of what that has to do with anything? Are we in trouble for splitting sandwiches?
The saddest part is we split the sandwiches and neither person could take a bite out of the steak sandwich because it was rubber. I could not believe the food they tried to serve us.
“We also don’t provide free refills”
…. luckily we all just enjoyed water but thank you.. that is now another reason why every other restaurant in town is a better choice.
“Unfairly criticized and give away free services”
This is fair criticism and the truth about my experience and your bad service. Obviously nothing was free that was made very clear when were told “no we cannot get a refund” for something truly inedible.

Love! Love! Love! This place is wonderful. The food is awesome (rigatoni vodka and the kids chicken fingers are the best we’ve ever had) and the service is exceptional. Everyone is so accommodating and the atmosphere is sophisticated yet low key. We frequent with our young kids; this will continue to be our go-to spot!

Such a disappointment. Brought my wife here for our 10th anniversary. The staff are amazing, super nice, super friendly. But when your paying $45 for a 5oz steak (surf and turf) and it comes out well done.. not a happy camper but I'm not one to complain. It only got 2 stars instead of one because the staff were so nice. Definitely won't be doing a second visit.
We were pleasantly surprised when we found this gem! Super delicious dishes, amazing and caring service and beautiful decor! We enjoyed our dinner and definitely coming back!

This place is truly an absolute gem! 10/10 recommend them for any of your party needs or dinner in general. My now husband and I had our dinner rehearsal here and hosted about 40 people. Dinner was excellent, service was great, and the chic atmosphere was perfect! Thank you for going above and beyond for us! It was a great place to start off our wedding festivities - thank you again!!!

I feel slightly bad to only give this 3 stars, but unfortunately I thought this place fell short of my expectations, after reading the reviews.
I’ll start with what I did like: the atmosphere was very nice, I went on a Wednesday, had reservations but didnt need them. It was nice and quiet, not busy, the decor, the chairs, super chic, the lighting was very nice, made for a chill vibe. The tiramisu was fantastic! I love tiramisu and this was one of the top ones I’ve had.
The rest of the food, i felt was perfectly fine, but didn’t wow me. I got the fried burrata, which was just ok, nothing special. And after much debate I went with something on the specials menu, Crab stuffed salmon. Again it wasn’t bad, kind of small portion felt like i ate it in 5 bites. Would’ve probably been better with maybe a creamy sauce over it or something? Just a little something else to jazz it up and make it stand out more.
Some other things I found odd, the waiters seemed perhaps confused as to who was taking our table. I’m not sure - maybe they share all tables, but there were only 2 waiters there and both kept coming over - one would take our app order, then a few minutes later the other one would come to ask what apps we would like - same thing happened for entrees. At one point the one waitress tried to approach our table and seemed surprised that the other waiter was already there taking our order. Not that bothersome or anything, but just a surprising miscommunication, like i said it wasn’t busy, so I didn’t feel like they were too rushed to figure this out on the side.
It was time to order dessert and when the waitress gave us the menu, she let us know they were out of keylime pie, which didn’t bother us since we wouldnt have gotten that. We glanced at the menu and were both very excited to both get the creme brulee, it sounded so good. When we tried to order it, she told us they were out of that too - then corrected, saying it hadn’t set yet. I asked if it would be set in the next 20 minutes - we would’ve been happy to wait a bit for it. She went to check and came back and said it wouldn’t be set for another hour or so. This was at about 7:30.. They close at 9, so I was really confused why they made the creme brulee so that it wouldn’t set and be ready to order until right before close ?? Was a bit frustrating for sure. And since my highlight of the meal ended up being the dessert that i had to pivot to - tiramisu, I’m sure the creme brulee would’ve been really good too.
As others have mentioned, the drinks are very expensive, like NYC prices. I ordered one but regretted it when the bill came. It wasn’t worth the extra $15. The total for our 2 top table was $115. While it may be on par with some nicer restaurants, I just didn’t feel like the food and drinks impressed/rose to match the price for the most part. We really didn’t order a lot, and I left dinner still feeling pretty hungry because of the entree portion size.
All this being said, I would probably come back, to give them another try and order something thats on their regular menu like the chicken parmigania, to give a more fair accurate judgement by having something they make all the time. I would probably come back for lunch as their lunch prices look better, but would honestly probably call ahead of time to make sure they have the creme brulee, because I really do want to try that as well.

Went for the lunch special. Sat down at 12:10 and ordered our food. My friends drink he ordered it was obvious the glass wasn't cleaned properly as their was debris in it. He asked to bring it back took 2 tries after the first person ignored us. Left at 12:55 and still hadn't received food. Other patrons arrived same time as us and without food. Will not be coming back.
My husband and I had been going almost every week for lunch and some time for weekends dinner.
Never have been disappointed with the food or the service. Every one es very pleasant, the place is beautiful decorated and lots of parking.

We came in with 20 people and they were prepared. The food was good. For some there was a misunderstanding. I believe there was a language problem. Overall it was a good experience.
