We were so excited to try a new restaurant, however, we were disappointed in our experience. The staff and the ambiance were nice. The food was very bland and subpar. First, I ordered the special which was a ribeye. When I asked for my steak medium rare they said they don’t cook to that temperature. The chef only cooks his ribeyes medium. They said they could cook the NY strip to medium rare so I said fine I’ll have that. My steak was raw, not rare, raw. My husband had the scallops which were just ok. At the end of the meal when someone came to collect our plates they said “wow did you order the steak rare like that because that is very undercooked?” I just told them no I didn’t and that was the end of the conversation. Honestly, we are not complainers so I did not speak up even though I probably should have asked for my steak to be cooked more. Overall I knew that another few minutes was not going to make that steak taste good. We enjoyed our drinks but otherwise I would avoid this place in the future.

Had a great time, but we won’t be back because they don’t have high chairs or booster seats. But they do have a kids menu. This is a strange way to gate keep who patronizes. It would be nice to know ahead of time.Otherwise the food/service/drinks were great. We throughly enjoyed! Spent over $200 for dinner and drinks for 2.5 people.

I love the place in general and the fact that they organize all sorts of events and that they have LIVE JAZZ on some days of the week. Unfortunately, the food is only good not great (hence the 4 stars). Also, the waiting staff could be a little more attentive, although everyone is super friendly.

Great experience and food, however the drinks are short. If I could get a normal drink size I would go back more often. The happy hour gin taste awful. The food is good and portions are small but prices are high especially considering portions sizes. Staff is friendly. The staff has to climb on sinks with shoes to stock bottles. Eww!

This was opening night and my wife and I were delighted by the experience. She had linguini with clams. I had airline chicken. Both were outstanding. Attentive service as well. We will definitely return.We've since been back several times. The waiter Scott is the best...personable and professional. Has his head in the game.

Brunch was delicious. Service didn’t miss a beat. Comctails were some of the best I had. Atmosphere is classy and so well done. Gatsbyish.

Went to dinner with the wife for Valentines day. The ambiance of the place is beautiful. They had a live band that sounded great. I believe mostly Jazz music, which fit the motif. The bar and seating within the place were about halfway full. For Appetizer, we ordered the special, stuffed figs with goat cheese and red pepper, and a drizzled balsamic glaze. We're not normally "fig" eaters, but wanted to try the special. It was good, but we probably should have went with one of their more popular/suggested menu items for an appetizer. At the suggestion of the staff, I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass and my wife ordered the Scallops. Both the main dishes and the sides on both plates were flavorless. The food wasn't bad, but there was no flavor. Had there been any salt or pepper on the tables, we would have used it to add some flavor to the meal. The best part of the meal was cocktails.For two people, one appetizer, two entrees and three drinks, the mean was over $165 and over $200 with a 20 percent tip. For the price, I would not recommend dining here. Go to enjoy a cocktail at the bar, but spend your money on food elsewhere.

The place was beautiful and the staff was nearly falling over themselves accommodating us which was great but it was one of the most expensive and least satisfying meals in recent memory. I got a bone in cowboy steak and it was 1/2 thin, seared without any real crust, and super dry. The French fries with another meal were soggy and unseasoned as were the mussels. It’s a passable meal for a chain restaurant but not for 30 or 40 dollars an entree not worth it. I don’t like leaving reviews because it’s usually a boomer thing but I’d stay away if you’re considering.

It's just not good. The food is overpriced, and the service always disappoints. The design inside the restaurant is nice, but that doesn't constitute a good eatery. We have visited this place multiple times and tonight was our last. Spending $150 for a dinner and drinks for two is fine by me, but the food has to be somewhat decent, and the service should be somewhere above the average or at least average. It just doesn't justify the cost.
We had an 11:30 reservation for Sunday brunch. Upon arriving at 11:25, we were met with a disapproving head shake from whom we later discovered to be the chef! Unbeknownst to us they open at 11:30. Shame on us for making the first reservation of the day and then arriving 5 mins early - tsk tsk. Unfortunately, that attitude left a sour taste in our mouths so a food review wouldn’t be fair at this point.

This is our favorite place! From food to sevice. Whether you are at the bar or dining in the back, the staff make you feel warm and welcomed like you are visiting friends. The food is ALWAYS amazing and you MUST save room for dessert!! Made fresh daily by one of the best pastry chefs on the east coast. I can not say enough about this place.Parking: Parking is never a problem
Unlike other reviewers we sat at the bar and had a nice service experience. And I liked the ambiance...But, like other reviewers, I found the food very sub-par, especially for the price. I had to ask for salt and pepper (which I rarely do) just to make the risotto scallop dish not taste completely bland. The risotto was also watery, which is a unique issue given the fact that it's...risotto. The scallops were also watery. I'd say go elsewhere if you want to spend nearly $40 on an entree only to wish it had been seasoned.

Great bar!!! Awesome Happy Hour! Beautiful atmosphere! Fun to watch the trains. Also fun to ride the train to the Pullman for a drink and a bite. Totally recommend!

First time visit and probably last for us. We had drinks and dinner at the grossly oversized bar; cocktails were acceptable, but the Chilean sea bass dish was so, so bland- no flavor of any kind; we paid for the bread which came with two wedges of un-spreadable butter; the live music was a step up from karaoke- overall, it was a greatly disappointing experience
