    The food was good, they implemented a new menu just a week ago. As a party of 2 the value/$ left a bit to be desired, it fell short on a few of the “luxuries” of eating at an expensive restaurant (forced still or sparkling, expensive white wine, but not chilled.) Definitely more of a tasting menu than an eating menu. Highly recommend the dip, tuna, and shrimp. Steak and Salmon are average with both lacking in their accompaniments. Drinks were good. Ambiance was good, the music and wait staff were both great, the building could use a good cleaning nothing to do with the quality. Overall would give it a 3.8/5.
