Beautiful building with historic charm. Spectacular view. Service great. Cocktail very good. Carpaccio was good, but overpowered by additions of onion straws and a lot of aioli. Pasta was undercooked: hard and even cool in the middle. Tuna not trimmed well. Lentil, quinoa mix was bland. Service very good

It was Valentines Night. We had to wait 20 minutes to be seated after our assigned time. We couldn’t even purchase a drink while waiting. Once seated The server was attentive and the ambiance excellent. The food was cold to Luke warm and almost tasteless. I know it was Valentine’s Day night and one of the busiest nights but I expected better from a restaurant of the quality

We have eaten here before and the food was very good, unfortunately the Christmas Eve fixed menu was extremely disappointing. My kids were not offered a kid selection, though the cost was less for them, so that was positive. But the turkey was almost all dark meat and had so much skin and fat, it wasn’t edible. The pork was covered in gravy. The food was super disappointing and not worth the price. The only item everyone liked was the palette cleanser. We were sad to bring our out of town guests to eat here. On the positive side, the place is beautiful and the service was good.
