I was looking for an elegant dinner venue that was intimate and not too noisy or boisterous, but not too quiet/formal. It was a great place to enjoy our evening, good food and conversation was easily had. Our guests enjoyed the appetizers, entrees, sides, dessert, and wine. They were all surprised by this hidden gem of a restaurant, since none of us had heard of it before. Definitely pricey, but service was great-attentive, but not obtrusive.

This is an old school dining experience, expensive but great for special occasions. The food was delicious, though the ribeye for two was not as special as I would have expected, everything was great. On our list now for special occasions moving forward.

Place is very small, hardly 10 tables. Entrance door was locked. No bar or cocktails were available. Then had to wait for everybody to be ready to order. We were forced to by bottled water. Long complicated bill was hand written. I prefer LALA's than this high priced joint. Food was nothing special. Not a good value. Disappointed !!!

Staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable of specials/food/wine, on top of re-fills for water/wine/anything we may have needed. Food was phenomenal. Shared a 40oz bone-in ribeye with my dad who was visiting from out of town. The sommelier offered a great pairing of wine with our food. Overall, great experience for a nice outing! Highly recommend.
