Don’t do the tasting menu. Food was so-so and therefore way overpriced at $95. Wine pairing portions were miniscule and maybe added up to a single glass. For $65. Total disappointment.

I originally wasn’t going to review until I remembered, miserable people are more likely to leave bad reviews than happy people are to leave good ones. Food- absolutely phenomenal. It was the best food I had since stepping off my flight, it was fresh and flavorful. Bland must mean not greasy in this case. The chefs clearly understand ingredient combos. And the wine selection is chefs kiss Service: as I approached the hostess waved and smiled at me warmly then checked me in. She was very kind and accommodating as I switched my seat multiple times. I chose bar seating & with my own eyes if she was not helping someone she was laughing/smiling with other staff. I read the comments before and no way this young lady wasn’t pleasant. The bartenders were awesome! It was a very busy night and everything I witnessed was on point!!

Hostess was awful when I checked in. They were not busy and she left me standing for quite some time and then came back and walked away. She never even asked me to follow her to my table. She was not pleasant and acted like she was not happy to be there.

The ambiance, service, and wait times were impeccable. The food portions were generous. The food was very bland, which was totally unexpected. The restaurant is very pricey, and my waiter never asked why I didn't eat most of my food and didn't want it bagged up. The best part of the meal was the Cherry Gelato. And the Prixe Fix Entree doesn't come with any sides. I wouldn't eat there again.
