Our favorite restaurant. Will be greatly missed. Best of luck to the new owners, these are big shoes to fill.

Food was amazing. Service was great. We arrived 10 minutes late to our reservation and there was no issue in getting our table. We order the Vodka pasta and the short rib. Both were amazing! Only complaint is they were out of a few items, but they were prompt to let you know before you made your decision and even offered suggestion or modifications to order the dish. Overall great experience

Overall, we had a solid experience, but they were lacking in a few areas that would be needed in order for us to rave about them to our friends and to return regularly. We also went there 6 months ago and had a similarly slightly above-average experience. When reading this review keep in mind that my wife and I are childless Millennials; DINKWADs, if you will. Make all the assumptions you want, but know that the above statement does mean that we can make high-quality craft cocktails at home and that we have discretionary income for eating out often. Pros: Food- My short rib was phenomenal! Every part of that dish was perfection and every bite created a zen moment for me as I closed my eyes and appreciated how good life is. My three dinner compatriots seemed to like their meals, but I wasn't considerate enough to ask them for an in-depth review. Ambience- We were seated upstairs and the environment was quite good. Conversation was easy to hold and the mood of the room was bordering on fancy, but relaxed and comfortable- just a touch dark in all the right ways. That being said, something was a bit off, and I think the upstairs could use a fresh set of eyes to tidy up some loose threads and better execute on their intended atmosphere. For instance: a cord management conduit peeling off the wall, a TV that probably isn't needed at all, a large piece of art that was too bright and cheery and seemed to be fighting against what the room wanted to be. Average: Service- Our waitress would have been excellent at Deny's, but she was lacking for an establishment where a check for four that includes one meal and cocktail each surpasses $350. If she cares about being better, I would recommend reading Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara. Cons: Cocktails- My mother would be impressed, but cocktail snobs should just go elsewhere. Two trips, two times I've been told they are out of ingredients for a signature cocktail. And when it comes, it's underwhelming at best.

Worst service I have ever experienced. Worst restaurant experience ever at a fine dine restaurant. It was so bad we stayed just to see how bad it could get. And laughed when it got worse. It was a train wreck. TV show incompetence! We were eventually told the restaurant is in “transition.” It shows. Nobody cared. Clearly. New owners should change the name to not be tainted by this disaster of a place. Don't go there.

The food was fine. Our waitress was superb. My only quibble was that the glare off the nearby tables in the late afternoon light was blinding. It wouldn't be a problem except at that time of day.

Fantastic service and delicious food. What more is there to say?
Rachel
The food was flavorful and fresh. The portion sizes were just right. The restaurant was nicely decorated and clean.
Glenn
The short rib and salmon was very good. White wine by the bottle was also good. The service was very attentive. The ambiance was casual but, “buttoned up”. I would return again.
James
Everyone enjoyed their food, but our server paid little attention to us, even though it was a very slow Wednesday night.
As always the food was amazing and the overall vibe of this place is outstanding. Love coming here whenever we're visiting family

Food was good. We were seated upstairs by ourselves, which was strange. Server did not allow us to taste wine before pouring. Staff was pleasant.

Field greens salad has a dressing on it that is out of this world. The wine selections are terrific. We loved the open air feel to the outdoors! Staff and servers so warm and welcoming.
