ChefChose "Chef's Choice". Chef Nick's choices were outstanding. Look forward to visiting again.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMInterestingThe menu here is definitely creative and presentation as important as taste. I particularly liked the "Small Plate" options which allowed me to select small portions of a variety of things. I ordered Escargot Dumplings, Lamb Meatballs and Pork Belly. All were beautifully presented although disappointingly unremarkable. The Chinese dumpling with a snail inside was interesting but I guess I prefer the French style where the wonderful garlic butter sauce is left for mopping up with bread after the snail is gone. The lamb meatballs were in a spaghetti sauce and tasted very much like the meatballs I make at home - good but not special. The pork belly definitely required the heavy duty knife provided. Will I return - Yes - won't order same.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMi enjoyed dining there. Thei enjoyed dining there. The food, service, table setting were good.

We really enjoyed so delicious food.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways enjoy going with myAlways enjoy going with my wife to share small plates, a bottle of wine and dessert with coffee. Once we had entrees and salad, but since then only sharing plates in order to get more tastes and really spend a relaxing evening. This is one of few restaurants that still offer such choices. Most have abandoned the concept and are going back to overly large entrees that we do not enjoy as much. The service is excellent and understand that we are not in a hurry.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMOur "Go-To" for a great meal.Never had the same thing twice

The menu is extensive as is the wine list. The ambience is open and airy, however the noise level increases as the bar area becomes more crowded. Although our server was professioanl and very attentive, the hostess staff seemed preoccupied and failed to offer a choice of a dark napkin to match our clothing as is normal practice in a fine dining restaurant.1/23/2013 12:00:00 AMThe best!Awesome in every way...Food, wine and service all perfect! Great location.12/21/2012 12:00:00 AM
