    Food was delicious and menu is fantastic. The yellowfin tuna was made perfectly and flavors were great. All the apps we tried were also very good. One of the best calamari's I've had. Ambience is sophisticated and trendy but the noise level in the dining room made it almost impossible to have a conversation. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely go back. Maybe at a less busy time so the volume isn't so distracting.

    The food and drinks were excellent and the service was very good. The servers tried very hard to make sure that we were served promptly and that everyone in our party got exactly what we ordered. The restaurant was a little louder than what we are used to but that is just the character of the venue. The two little wrinkles were something we have never seen before: 1. It is assumed that all guests are using a credit card and if you pay cash, the onus is on the customer to deduct the convenience fee from the bill. 2. We did pay by cash and the bill came to almost $600. When our server came to pick up our check and payment, she stood there at the table and counted the money in front of us instead of going off to the side or in the back to do so. That was offensive. We are a group of professional women who go out together once a month and choose a different restaurant each time. We tip well. There was no reason to treat us in such a suspicious manner. As the “host” of this month’s outing, I received excellent feedback on the food and the service but felt it important to note these two dings.
