2023 SURCHARGE

Our restaurants have been operating with extraordinary increases in the cost of doing business. High inflation, rising wages and supply chain challenges have continued beyond the pandemic creating a difficult operating environment. We have reluctantly chosen to implement a separate 3.75% fee for 2023 with the hope that it can be eliminated in the future as conditions improve. We appreciate your support and understanding.

This is a beautiful restaurant. If ambience were all I cared about, I’d give it top rating. But I also go to restaurants for food and service. Both were disappointing. The burger ($24) was the most mediocre thing I’ve eaten at a restaurant of this supposed pedigree. The waitress didn’t pause even for a second before saying “we don’t have that” to any requests I had. What restaurant serving burgers doesn’t have blue cheese in the kitchen?

Inside is dark and cozy. Nice spot to come for a drink and quiet conversation - it probably has a good crowd on weekends. The service was on the slow side. Took at least 10-15 min. for our drinks to arrive and it wasn’t at all crowded. Bartenders made wonderful drinks! I had rockfish which was pretty small and tasted slightly fishy for $38. The ravioli was delicious but a joke as far as how many ravioli was in dish. Waitresses were pleasant but certainly not hurrying themselves. All in all we decided good to come for drinks on a winters night but pass on dinner.

I was getting a break of a CEO job for 4 days. It was amazing to focus on the food and good service, they see me alone taking pictures because my hobby is getting out to special restaurants like this around the world and take pictures. The bartenders and staff amazing they give me a free coctail that they inventend there. 100% points.

Great drinks - we tried the Strawberry Pisco Sour and it was delicious. Crab gazpacho, ravioli, sea bass and chicken pot pie fritters were excellent. And some lovely desserts! We loved the soundtrack playing and the comfortable banquettes. Great people watching, too.

While we were a few minutes late, when we arrived the host made us feel like we were right on time. We sat in a great spot to carry on a conversation. The food and drinks were first class. The staff was very attentive and made us feel like we were the only patrons in the restaurant even though it was packed.

Wait staff was excellent but I needed binoculars to find $35 tenderloin which was the size of golf ball. The real unfortunate part of the dinner was at 10:15, I escorted my date outside to wait 3 minutes to catch her Uber and when I turned around to go back in, they locked the doors and wouldn’t let me back in. A guy who looked like Terry from Ray Donovan said “we aren’t letting new people back in”. Ugh

Still recovering from an acute stomach infection from dinner. Both server and menu intentionally hid the $2 surcharge for truffle fries. Shady, as is the interior, which looks kinda nice.
