everything was outstanding and incredibly flavourful - we did the chef menu to try as much as possible and the only hiccup was the short rib which we thought was fairly dry. We should have gone for the sea bass, but it didnt seriously detract from the otherwise exceptional meal and experience

This place lives up to the hype. It was my first time here. Love the design to get to the hidden dining room, which is a lot quieter than sitting in the front room. The servers were willing to accommodate virtually any request. This evening, most patrons ordered the crab cakes and raved about them. Can't wait to come back.
