    We arrived a bit early because we wanted to have a cocktail and experience the bar. I was immediately impressed with the design, the wood, those bar lamps! Jeff made me a spectacular Manhattan, the chilled glass a nice touch. We enjoyed oysters as well. Our table for two was cozy and adjacent to three hip fellows celebrating an 80th birthday. Love our city! All three fish crudos were delicious, especially the kampachi. The bread basket totally worth it, warm delicious with marmite butter. Our server Frazier just wonderful and accommodating. The ribeye was cooked and seasoned to perfection and easily serves two. Still thinking about the fries. Great value, felt special, will return. Hats off JA!

    The food and staff were fine. The reservation website omitted important information and provided a telephone number that did not connect after multiple tries.
