    We had dinner reservations for two on a Saturday at 5pm. The restaurant was empty minus a few other tables. Our waitress, Amber, greeted us immediately and was attentive all night. She was very friendly and made excellent choices when we asked for menu recommendations. The stuffed mushrooms were an excellent appetizer. The squash seasonal bisque was phenomenal. The Caesar salad was very good, caution very small wedge portions. My wife’s Sea Bass was excellent as well as both our sides of asparagus and risotto. Highly recommend the risotto. My duck was just fair, nothing special and would not really recommend. The crane brûlée was also good. For the drinks, my wife said her Sangria was very good and my Manhattan was one of the better ones I’ve ever had. I sampled the Concord house wine but was not a fan , so I elected for a Malbec that was good. Overall very pleased and will definitely go back.

    too pricey compared to other fine dining restaurants but the atmosphere did not equate to a fining dining experience. it is an old skating rink building, I thought I was in a gym, the wall next to my dining table was an unfinished block wall. they were very inflexible, no substitute for vegatable or potato, they had Asparagus no ohter vegatable, which I don't like, they wouldn't sub a small salad in lieu of the veggie. I chose an entree of $59. not a pleasant dining experience. not returning for another dining experience

    This was our third time trying this place. The first time we wrote off the inconsistent experience as too new. The second time we said maybe it was us and the entree choices we made (overpriced specials and unbalanced cocktails). This third time I know for sure this place is not for us. The drink menu tries to be craft cocktail but the use of their own vodkas and spirits in many of them is not good. Two over-sweet cocktails gave a killer headache from the impurities. The wine list is non existent. You get the choice of their own wine (not good) or Josh. (also not good) The food was pretty good Brussel sprouts were a standout and so was the burger (we had wanted to try it since getting rave reviews from fellow diners the first two times). The chefs cheese plate was unimaginative selecting two cheeses (which were served in huge hunks) that were very similar to each other in texture and flavor profile. there was only one accompaniment (a berry /pepper spread) which although tasty did not have enough variety. A few olives or nuts or a mustard would have varied the texture and flavors. The service was ok. The ambiance is a little weird. Trying to be high end but not quite getting there. You can get much better experiences and food elsewhere for the price

    Very surprising when you enter the building and they did a excellent job of the interior to make people feel wanted and provide a nice comfortable place to have dinner and or drinks
