   Excellent cuisine. The grilled artichoke starter was a favorite with its mix of arugula, goat cheese and balsamic creating a whirlwind of flavors. The broccolini’s sauce was so good we sopped it up with the bread (a more cultured alternative than licking the plate). Lobster with truffles linguini was tremendous, as was deconstructed apple pie. We definitely need to go here more often.

   Wonderful experience as a first time diner. We went to celebrate our daughter’s graduate school graduation and from the moment we walked in, we were impressed. Everyone we came across was so nice, asked us what we were celebrating and didn’t rush our time there. The drinks were spot on, the thoughtful menu items were delicious and the ambiance was upscale but comfortable. I appreciate being acknowledged for a celebration especially when it’s on my Open Table reservation and this place went above and beyond with a hand written congratulatory card presented to her at the end of the night. Very nice, thank you for everything.

   This was our second time there. The first time was amazing, this time not so good. They have decreased the size of the restaurant making it much less intimate so the noise level was louder. We were sitting right next to high top tables which I did not expect to see in a supposed upscale restaurant. They have a very limited menu and were out of one of the main entrees. Two of my guest ordered the rack of lamb. The entrees flavor was good both both dinners were so tough it was almost inedible. The waitress even asked if they wanted a to go box. I ordered the scallop dinner and asked for it to be cooked well done, it was not cooked well done. There was more but it is not necessary to post. I was very disappointed and embarrassed since I raved about the restaurant. I think they have gone downhill and their prices are very high for the quality we received.

   Stop making Pina Coladas. Food is overpriced and not worth it. I am not sure what the high price is for exactly. Location is not the best, space is not the best, and food and service are not the best. Food quality was poor. Pina colada was an abomination. The pina colada you guys make should be a criminal offence to pina coladas.

   Food overall was very delicious, however our service could’ve been better. Our waiter returned to the table four times to collect our order because he hadn’t written it down. And then almost charged us for a $250 bottle of wine another table had ordered. Might’ve just been a rough night but the restaurant wasn’t busy.

   We had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and the experience was amazing. I could rave about the service all day. We had a 7 year old with us who has a few dietary issues and they addressed everything and made sure his dining experience was great as well. This restaurant is totally recommend!

    The restaurant was extremely noisy, and the tables were placed very close together, making it challenging to converse with the waitress. Despite the noise, our waitress, Amy, was incredibly friendly and professional.
