Do not waste your money. This is the type of place that thinks expensive items make good food (ie gold flakes on some unidentifiable paste). Food was so bad we left mid meal and ran to a bar to do shots to disinfect our stomachs. Service was terrible we got our cocktails after our main course arrived. They practically threw the food at us. The staff was not rude they just sucked. Never again there are many good places nearby.

Lovely staff but inexperienced. There was a big problem with two simple entrees being cooked with the wrong ingredients. It was not corrected and we were charged for 1 of the 2. They should not have charged us for either, they did not check on us after the entrees arrived for a while and one was eaten. The lobster was fishy, not sweet and fresh in the lobster roll. The salads were great but too much finishing salt. Beautiful space and presentation needs staff training especially at these prices.

Food was okay. Noise was intolerable. DJ playing "YMCA" for Dinner at 7pm? WTF? Place is trying so hard to be hip and cool it's pathetic. 4 skimpy plates will set you back $150+tip. As a bonus, you'll leave with a migraine. Have fun. For us, never again.

Overall enjoyed our visit to the restaurant. We came for unique culinary options, which we had, and enjoyed the overall atmosphere, and the DJ was definitely helping to create the vibe. Their scallops and paella were delectable!

Excellent food, service and ambiance. We have had many wonderful meals there. They can do better with pricing their wine list which I believe is overpriced.

Disappointing experience! The interior and the ambiance are absolutely stunning. However, the service we received was quite poor, considering how much we paid. Our server would ignore us when we tried to get their attention; she was rude at times. We noticed that it happened to other guests and not just us. The food was good - it wasn't anything special. My main course was about 40 minutes delayed and they comped a glass of prosecco. Overall, sadly wasn't impressed!
