A few significant issues that kept this review from a 5 star. First the menus. They are paper and ours had food stains and water stains on them. Not a good first impression. Either laminate them or replace often. I ordered the Bone Marrow with pillow, that came out 10 to 15 minutes after everyone else's entrees. I was finally told half way thru my wait that the bone was taking longer to cook. It was completely unacceptable that it took that long! My wife and cousin were practically done with there meals when mine finally arrived.
The positive is that the food and specialty drinks are very good. I would give the place another try and see what happens.

Closed when arrived, hours clearly communicated.
Great place for a date. The drinks were delicious, as well as the octopus and the French burger. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We will be coming back again.

I went shortly after opening to catch all day happy hour on Mondays. The drinks were great, but the happy hour food was so-so. I'll have to come back for dinner sometime, but even with happy hour, it was a bit pricey.

Took my in-laws and husband here as a gift, and while the food was decent the service was a mess from start to the end of the meal:
*The waitress told us while struggling to carry our drinks to the table, that she “sucked at this”. When we asked if the ribeye came with a side she said yes it did come with a purée side. Come to find out this was a sauce for the steak not an actual side dish, the menu was never explained to us that it was more of a “a la cart / small plates” menu.
*We tried to order the bone marrow dish (which we were very excited about) only to be told they were already out of this (at 4:30pm on a Saturday).
*Server dropped the ginger pears from the baked Brie we ordered on my father-in-law, didn’t promptly move to clean up the mess, then forgot to bring a replacement for it (we had to remind him to do so). When asked what another side dish was that he brought to the table he said he didn’t know and would have to go ask someone.
*Our waitress told us at one point when asking my husband and father-in-law if they wanted a refill of their iced tea that she was told she was not allowed to bring the pitcher of iced tea to the table, that she would need to take their cups over to the pitcher at the bar to refill them then bring them back to the table. Found this strange, but was ok with it until she mixed their cups up when she brought them back to the table. We found this out when my husband took a sip of his iced tea and it clearly had sweetener in it now from what was left over in said cup that was refilled. My husband does not use sweetener in his tea, she had clearly switched his cup with my father-in-laws who does use sweetener. Thank god it was just family in our party.
*To top off the night, the owner told us that a birthday party was coming in and they needed our table…..now, at least it was said in a polite way, but it still felt strange after spending close to $400 on dinner to be rushed out of the restaurant not long after we paid. Also, at the time we were asked to leave there were several other tables that appeared to be open. If there was going to be a limit on the duration that we could sit in the location we picked it would have been nice to know this ahead of time.
All this being said, the food was expensive but for the most part decent, I would not order the asparagus (they were burnt) or the duck fat fries again (nothing special about them), but for what I thought to be more of an upscale restaurant (and definitely prices to match) I believe more effort should be put into their service, it really felt disorganized from start to end and left all of us scratching our heads wondering why this place came so highly recommended?

Amazing meal with my wife and daughter. Perfect food, the filet and ribeye steak skewers (yakitori) were amazing. We only got one order of shrimp yakitori but it was cooked perfectly and the chimichurri added an extra flavor. The service was perfect with regular but not intrusive attention. We ordered too much food with the salad, asparagus, risotto, frog legs and at the end when we were stuffed from the family style feast they brought the final dish we had ordered, a pork belly over mushroom ravioli. I only took a few bites, wishing I could have more room in my stomach. What a feast, I will definitely be back.

This is a nice restaurant with a nice candle lit darker setup. They have great drinks and the food is top tier. They bring out the food family style as each dish is finished cooking. The dining experience is enjoyable and fun. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Five stars for excellent food and customer service.

Service was exactly what you would want, food wasn't ideal but had potential to be better than okay. Burgers should be wider not taller, salad should be smaller (mouth size) and rinsed.. solid atmosphere though for drinks all though not great pricing.

Shared Duck fat fries, Warm Kale salad & The Mac with a friend. We ate every single bite. The flavor combos here were surprising and delectable. I will be back!

My husband and I took my niece and husband to Sedgwick for their 10yr anniversary. The service was kind and prompt. Our drink order took awhile to receive. The menu options are minimal. The baked Brie was ok and Chicken Kraggage was decent too. We decided to leave after our starters. Just not our vibe.

We decided to check this place out today because it looked really cozy with elegant dishes for a nice date night. It did not disappoint! The French burger was a huge hit! We couldn’t stop eating it. It’s clear they truly care about the time it takes to make quality food. The drinks were also cute, as my London fog had some cute little hearts on top of the egg whites. They truly know how to make a comfortable dining experience with a full service bar. I’ve worked in catering for many years and the truffle was fantastic we will have to try other things on the menu. Thanks! 🙏 Truly great flavors! 👏🤤
