Been to this location for a decade+. It's been in a minor backslide but the location and bar continue to be great and their space is hard to beat. Entrees are overpriced for portion pair with taste. Either portions need to increase or taste needs to increase to justify price. Apps make more sense. They continue to have an optics issue with their plating leading to an imbalance in perception of value. Small quantities on a large plate are supposed to suggest high-quality but they aren't reaching that level so if not increasing food quantity, decrease plate size. My plate last night looked comically empty when it was placed down and they aren't a Michelin star restaurant.
