    While it was a little noisy due to the very open nature of the restaurant, the ambience was still good. I ordered the seared scallops with asparagus and corn risotto. Whoever developed this particular recipe was brilliant and then the preparation of the dish was just perfect. The flavors and textures of all of the ingredients paired together wonderfully. We get so used to speeding through a meal without truly savoring it. I truly savored this meal.

    We were only a party of 3, and we did not overstay. However, when the server handed us the check, they already added the tip at 18%. We would have paid the same but it was insulting for them to add it on the check. We ordered several items but except for the calamari, the items we ordered tasted mostly so-so. Including the truffle bread. Yes, so-so.

    it’s hard to dictate what seating arrangement to choose - standard and or high table , if you had photos of each option it would be easier to navigate and decide, it’s almost like a guessing game, noise level a bit too loud - but good food and service are what matters most just the experience could have been better

    The service and ambiance was excellent, as always. Chad is THE top-notch go-to man of the spot, and he will leave no room for error. If you’re heading here, keep an eye out for him! He will do the absolute best for you and yours, just as he did for me and my friends. The food is great, absolutely zero complaints overall. You won’t be disappointed.
