We were celebrating our third anniversary and were greeted with complementary glasses of champagne. The food and service was fabulous. We really enjoyed being seated so we could watch the open Woodfire kitchen.

We felt the experience was good but not great. At this price point we were hoping for better. Service seemed a fragmented (6 different people came to check on us before appetizers arrived), it was not particularly busy and yet there was a long lull in between apps and the main entree. This may be a personal preference but I wasn’t expecting the steak to come pre-sliced, and also it was closer to medium not medium rare.

Unfortunately it took over 40 minutes for our steaks to come out with no explanation… Culotte was chewy and flavorless. Filet was tasty but stringy Tartare was excellent

Very cool on the patio. The wait for the entrees was too long after finishing salads and hors d'oeuvres.

The hostess and servers managed expectations well, explaining that most food is cooked over an open flame which requires quite a bit more time than conventional preparation. They recommended we start with snacks/appetizers from their menu, and they also recommended ordering everything at once so they could pace the meal appropriately. We got the "Tower of Pisa" appetizer and shared a rib eye with a house salad and pomme purée on the side, then split the crème brûlée for dessert. The appetizer tower was so good! I'm glad we got to try a little of everything, and next time we will likely order the oysters and crudo as those two were our favorite. The rib eye was exquisite - an amazing cut of meat! I think cooking over the wood fire must make it difficult to judge temperature. From the outside, I thought there's no way our steak was medium rare, but it was pleasantly rare in the center with melt-in-your-mouth fats. The Jacobsen salt was a nice touch and we devoured the whole thing. The pomme purée was probably 60% butter, 40% potatoes and tasted divine. So creamy and smooth. The croutons on the house salad were amazing (I think the server said they are fried in duck fat), but the sweet fried onions and - I think it was peeled and pickled cherry tomato? - stole the show. Crème brûlée is my favorite dessert and I think this was the best I've ever had. The caramelized sugar on top was thick and crisp and the custard was sweet and cold and tasted of real vanilla bean. We also really enjoyed their cocktails. The parmesan martini was really interesting and the toki whisky rhubarb drink from their seasonal cocktail menu was delicious. My wife doesn't drink and she was pleased with the non-alcoholic options - they clearly put a lot of care into their alcohol-free cocktails. Everyone was really, really nice. The service was great. We sat on the patio because the weather was gorgeous. We spent a full two hours - definitely a place to "dine" instead of grab a quick meal.

food and drinks were really good but our waiter wasn't the most pleasant. very low energy. took a while to get our drinks after we ordered- other tables that were sat after us were getting their drinks first.
