"Great food, but priced accordingly. Tough to find bargains on the wine list. Overall if you've told yourself you are ok spending a lot for dinner, it's fabulous. Get something from the wood burning grill."

"Food was very good, atmosphere was good, servers had a bit of an attitude- best to ignore that part. Also, very very expensive!"

"I thought the place was really nice. But I'm sorry, no entree should cost between $60 and $100...no matter how good it tastes.

It's totally overpriced. The food is good, but there's a ton of great restaurants serving fantastic quality food and beautiful atmospheres that charge half or less of what we paid here.

Just too overpriced."

"The food is amazing. But we felt rushed. Understood "the desserts take some time", but being asked to order dessert before even placing an order for a glass of wine felt like "top turning" So efficient, but not exactly gracious."

"My only major criticism is the high price. This level of quality, attention, and service is obtained EASILY by hundreds of other restaurants at much lower prices."
