    We live in the neighborhood and this is a wonderful addition to Lakeview. We did have a long wait getting our entrées after our appetizers because the kitchen was backed up a little but when our entrées did arrive, they were delicious! Our only comment would be a wish for them to remove the lamps that are embedded on the bar top and are not movable . They really hinder the view and take a precious space.

    The food was only surpassed by the impeccable service. From octopus to the perfectly temp steak, our meal was flawless. The meal was finally capped off with an amazing Biscoff cheesecake and the carrot cake (both of which were sized to be shared). Thank you, you made my birthday feel priceless.

    We have dined here many times and every time is extremely enjoyable. Tonight was no different with excellent, friendly service and delicious food. I had the lamb shank and found it very tender and flavorful. Kevin is an excellent server.

    The ambience is so lovely and great for a date. I liked the drinks too. However, we had a bizarre experience with the waitress. I am not sure if she was having trouble hearing us, but she did not listen to our requests at every interaction. It was in one ear and out the other. An example: when we sat down, she greeted us and asked if we would be ordering food or just here for drinks, we said yes we would be ordering food but drinks first. She proceeded to take our food menus and plates away, and said if we changed our minds about food she could bring them but but she’d give us time to look at drinks… ?? Confusing because we had just said we would be ordering food just not right away. In another scenario too, we mentioned wanting to order another round of drinks and she seemed to acknowledge it but then walked away? Bizarre. That being said, I would still go back!
