After reading the reviews I really wanted to love this place but it wasn’t anything memorable. The service was better than the food. I’ve watched Chef Alex for years on Food Network and expected more I guess. We had the branzino, salmon and steak for mains. The accompaniments could have been better. The warm loaf and butters to start were great. The foie gras appetizer was delicious and that dish was memorable. We’ve dined in the biggest US cities and maybe our bar is high. The plates were all mismatched and the restaurant seemed worn. Little details matter. One of our party of 5 was an executive chef and major foodie. Sadly we all won’t be returning. Still love Chef Alex.

First off, the food was very good. No complaints there at all. Service was also great. The only complaint is that it was sooooo HOT in the restaurant. I was sweating the entire time I was eating which definitely hurts the overall experience. It wasn’t just me either. I saw others fanning themselves and a few commenting when they were leaving that it was just too hot. Need to address the temperature issues.

Deliciously amazing! We shared the pork chop and it was so good! Also tried the Mac and cheese - so rich! We were in a hurry with theatre tickets but we didn’t feel rushed as everything came from the kitchen quickly. I’ll definitely go back!
