Both the rock fish and the beef Asian bowl that we had were great. The Rose and Day was a refreshing cocktail as well. Sat at the bar, and it is a wonderful looking restaurant. A bit pricey, but would definitely recommend.

The place is inviting (if a little bright). Our server - Colin - was excellent and helpful with choices. The food was creative and fantastic. We will definitely return.

Food and service were mediocre at best. We had to ask for small plates for the starter we ordered to share, when I ordered my steak I was provided with a butter knife and had to ask for steak knife, server was absent minded, and inattentive, every one at the table agreed that the food was meh at best.

The entire visit was lovely; from the friendly and competent greeting and seating experience; to our server MJ who kept the right level of attention and suggestions; to the great food that has just the right blend of familiarity and distinctiveness- always delicious. Great visit.
