    First time dining here. I chose it because of its proximity to where we were staying. What a pleasant experience. From the moment that we arrived the whole staff was welcoming and professional. Our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive, the support staff were wonderful, the food was amazing and the cocktails and wine list were great. A true hidden gem of a restaurant.

    The food was delicious though so rich we couldn’t enjoy it (even overate, that’s on us). The view was lovely - be sure to sit outside. We were happy to try it as we live just up the street.

    We started with a 1/2 ounce of caviar, which was perfectly delicious. We shared two entrees, the King Salmon and Ribeye. The salmon was out of this world and cooked perfectly, we ordered the steak medium and it was less than, which made it hard for me to eat. For the sides we chose the broccolini which had a spicy cheese and was really good, the fingerling potatoes were potatoes. The cocktails were great, service was excellent, overall it was a nice meal. I’m dreaming of the caviar today though so I’ll definitely go back!
