    Incredible experience with hilariously unhinged menu item names and descriptions. Don’t be fooled though, every bite of everything we had was absolutely top notch. We shared three apps, two entrees, and a dessert and none of the courses disappointed. Enjoy this unassuming but amazing restaurant if you can

    Great table 16—quieter for anniversary. Devon was terrific. Will warms us up with “how did you guys meet?” The lamb with quenelle was amazing! The filet was melt in your mouth. And the clever name of the cocktails made us laugh n the order them. Super very special anniversary celebration . Thankyou. We made some memories.

    The ambiance is moody and dark, with lighting in the appropriate areas. A hideaway spot that is the best kept secret. Will greeted and sat us at our table. Food was ABSOLUTELY delicious. I had the swellington that was cooked to medium perfection. My friends had the duck and crab cake, which they loved. The lobster mac and cheese was *insert chefs kiss*. Cocktails and brute satisfied our taste buds, and we left with our hearts full. Highly recommend and will be back.

    Loved everything about this place. The wall next to our booth covered in vintage Star Wars plates, the fantastic server, the eerily quiet kitchen (I'm convinced they're telepathic), the absolutely perfect filet up to the candles in the bathroom. I will be hard pressed to find as perfect a dining experience as this one was. They made our 11th anniversary (at table 11 btw) a night to remember. Thank you
