    Food and presentation is amazing as always .. but sat at table less thank 12 inches away from server window which was annoying. Light from inside kitchen was shining directly in my eyes the entire time. When I’m spending over $200 for dinner, I’d like to be seated at a nice table. Going forward I would make sure I’m not sitting here.

    Honestly as a foodie, this is some of the best food I've ever had in my life. The salads, mussels, cacio e pepe and strip steak are the standouts. Everything is outrageously good though.

    The bone in Ribeye was excellent, I hope they incorporate it into their menu year round! The tuna carpaccio was unique. the wings were excellent as always, and of course, the braised short rib pasta was delicious.
