    My wife and I went for our anniversary. The menus said "Happy Anniversary" on the top of the first page and they wrote it in chocolate sauce on my wife's dessert plate. The food was excellent (Wagyu filet) and they have an extensive wine and spirits selection. It is really expensive (including tip, $370 for two people), but the kind of place you splurge for on special occasions.

    Food was beautifully presented and delicious. Service was attentive, but not over- bearing. The only spoiler was the loud background music,

    Steak was tasteless and mostly fat Service slow, Desert took 25 minutes to get. Steak was undercooked. No flavor whatsoever atmosphere was beautiful love the bread and the olive Almond spread. Would definitely go again, but will stick to some of the dishes we’ve had in the past that we know we’re good

    Don't be scared of the prices! The food is outstanding and our service was perfect. Our server was attentive, helpful but not intrusive. There when we needed her, ready and willing to make suggestions all with a smile and the best attitude. Make the time and go for the best all-around dining experience in the County (and beyond!).

    The place didn’t look to busy, however it did take a long time to get bread at the beginning. Once we ordered our drinks and took our order due to us being ready for some time, there was a long time to wait for our dinner. Server seem to be aomewhat new but you can tell he was trying his best. Food came out and it seemed I was the only one who enjoyed their food for a party of 3.

    This is a great place to have a quiet dressy or casual dinner. Food is always great!!! Service is great and the interior is so surprising compared to the exterior.
