It’s a good place and lovely inside. Great service for sure. And the food is amazing! Love the wood fired flavors! However, to be honest, it’s really overpriced. For example we got two scallops for $36! We split three dishes (one app, scallops, and potatoes)and had two drinks each and our bill was $185. So, as a gal who frequently eats out I would say you get just as nice of a meal or better for less at tons of fabulous restaurants around town.

Despite the fact that the 3 of us raised the mean age by at least 15 years, we had a fantastic time. Service was great - food was even better! You HAVE GOT TO TRY THE BRIOCHE DONUTS.
