Lives up to its well-deserved reputation! Don’t miss the NY strip, which is excellent. My favorite part of the experience is learning from the sommelier. I appreciated his attentiveness as so as I sat down to peruse the wine menu. A great recommendation as always. Michael’s service was impeccable.

From the valet to the Host to the server and food was amazing. The only thing we didn't like was the 2nd floor bar was so loud we had a hard time with our converation.
