Had a business meeting here with three of us. Waiters were attentive and friendly. We shared Crostini - there are many to chose from and each was different - and we all had the steak, which was done perfectly. Other items on the menu looked interesting as well. One warning: The table top was super smooth so when I barely brushed a bottle sitting on the table with my hand, it went skidding across and spilled. Watch out for that!!

Our table was ready and we were check-in promptly. The hostage and waitress took care of us very nicely. Our Antibes Spritz mocktails were delicious. We also have a tasting tour of all of the crostinis, they are a must, mini explosions of flavor. And finally we enjoyed the salmon and branzino entries. To finished all we had our espressos cortado style.A great lunch and beautiful ambiance.

The restaurant is light and airy and has great energy and lighting. We enjoyed every aspect of our experience - from the host stand to our departure. Our server was amazing attentive and knowledgeable. It’s a very busy and lively restaurant but we never felt ignored. We had the buffalo burrata, truffle fries, brussel sprouts, scallops and hanger steak. We also had some delicious spritzes, wine and a couple of other spirits. Yes, we ate and drank well and everything was delicious. The only thing we didn’t like was the dessert my friend ordered. The server recommended it, but it was horrible. We each ate a small bite and left the rest there. It should’ve been taken off the bill.

Nice place , great service, but some of the food was mediocre. We ordered the octopus app. It was delivered luke warm and the octopus was over cooked to the point that it was very difficult to cut. Also, there were only four, very small chunks of sausage in the dish. It definitely was NOT worth the cost… prep and portion wise. We also had the branding and the scallops. While my scallops were prepared to perfection and delivered hot and tasty, my husband’s dish had obviously been sitting awhile, waiting for mine to be finished. Restaurants…I truly believe that most folks want their food delivered hot and fresh… even if it means that delivery is not at the exact time. My last concern was that I was served an $18 drink that was 3/4 full… almost as if someone had taken a big swig out of it. I’m OK with an $18 drink… but it should be worth it (note: I noticed that the drinks at the next table were not 3/4 full, so I changed from the mixed drink to a premixed martini… this drink was delicious and served appropriately. Ther service was great and everyone at the restaurant was nice and friendly. Bottom line, if I’m going to pay a premium price for food/drink, I want it to be worth the price paid… I feel like there are better options available for the price point.

Delicious and creative! Everything was magnificent and the flavors were novel and interesting without being bizarre and overwrought, as can be the case with fine dining. For example, the fried rosemary polenta was light, crispy, and addictive.

Nice food, beautiful restaurant! It just looks like when you don't drink you're not an interesting customer and so service is not the same, but the check was $200 for two so I think not too bad. Prices are a little expensive for the food size but food is really good.

A fabulous Restaurant Week experience! Each of the three courses was perfect. We both had the spinach salad with applewood bacon (our favorite) and gorgonzola; the subtle dressing was made with sherry vinegar, honey and mustard. The waiter was attentive without being overbearing. We won't wait for the next Restaurant Week to return.

We arrives at 5:30 and 45 minutes later we still had only one drink and had to ask several times about a second. We had the crostini which is excellent and salads and entrees but because it took 2 1/2 hours we couldn’t stay for coffee and dessert as we were about to miss our concert. I also noted that we were celebrating a birthday and the hostess said oh by the way Happy Birthday. There were a lot of servers but the seemed busy with a big party or not trained. Maybe short staffed but honestly if someone had just said that was the problem we would have understood. Great location.
