I can't describe how satisfying was our dinner. Above any expectations. One of the best meals I’ve ever had!
Pricey, but worth every penny.
Gorgeous antique decor and flawless food—I’m definitely coming back with friends and family!
Thank you!

This is a throw back place with warm, romantic rustic atmosphere. Food was quite good and serving sizes were generous. Staff was great.

Kid-friendliness: Our party included a rambunctious four year old and we got his milk early and often. Kids’ spaghetti has nice and sauce was liked by adults.

Let’s start by saying we had a reservation booked for the Valentine’s Day dinner at 6:30 pm which they had ZERO tables left for. Secondly, when they finally made a makeshift table to please us, we were sat at a high top next to a dirty bar with no table cloth and 4 (four) rose petals. The $99 per person set menu did not mention on the website that each section is one for the TABLE. By the way, the NY strip steak is 8oz. 8 oz split by 2 people LOL. Luckily, our server was nice about it and understood. On a normal day, it’s probably fine but if you’re promoting a $99 per person Valentine’s Day experience, you should probably up your experience a bit.

I have been dining here since February 16, 2012. I have brought friends and family over the years. Last night was incredible like all of my visits. Lobster ravioli, roasted lamb, mussels and more made for an amazing dinner! Sophie was our server and was very friendly and helpful! I highly recommend this restaurant!

My favorite part, aside from the food obviously, is the pianist. Really sets the mood and makes the atmosphere so enjoyable. The food is always delicious. The fluffy gnocchi is a must. And save room for dessert!

I truly don’t have enough good things to say. The focaccia with ricotta is a MUST. You’ll feel like you never had good bread and cheese before once you try it here. I never fall for bread like that but wow. My truffle gnocchi was perfection and boyfriend loved the steak. Desserts were define, service outstanding, live music the perfect touch, and ambience very intimate and classy. Don’t question it make your reservation TODAY!

Food wasn't a stand out in my opinion. The menu makes it seem more than you get (in flavor not portion). I had achefs special halibut with maybe a cheese sauce and broccoli? Much a let down. More expensive and less good than the halibut being served at Lark. Vibe is great, space is great, wine and digestif menu was good. Worth a visit at the least.

The Christmas Eve 7 Fishes Feast was amazing. They almost offered an alternative for the meat eater. Can't wait to return and experience the regular full menu. Hidden gem people need to check out!

Never a disappointment. Food is excellent and the service is fantastic. Went with a party of 10 and they easily took care of us all night and were so friendly and pleasant. Only thing I wish they would bring back is the tableside Caesar salad. That was the best I've ever had.
