When we asked if we could order some drinks, we were told by the waitress to just wait in a very rude and curt manner. It took another 10 minutes or so before the drink order was taken. It was an embarrassing night as we had brought out of town guests. The food was OK, not great. To top it all, we waited for another 20 minutes to order dessert at which time we decided to ask for the bill and leave since we did not know how long it would take for them to serve us our desserts. Maybe it was an off night. Would we go back there? Most probably not; there are many other options in the neighborhood.

Bison, duck, liver and lamb constitute half of the menu options. Chose the Fogo Island cod which was overall bland. The only brightness came from pickled mushrooms which were a bit sharp tasting in contrast. Somehow it just didn't hang together with any complexity. Served without a starch option, at $44.00 it felt steep. The service, ambience and, of course, the signature cocktails mean we will still be back, but look forward to different and/or additional menu items.

Portions are on the smaller side- need an appetizer for sure. Negatives: it’s pretty loud in the restaurant as it’s small and tables are close together. The waiting staff needs for training for a more upscale restaurant- the waiter didn’t know what was on the menu.

Pistachio cheesecake was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Wine list was excellent. Great service and ambience - I highly recommend this local spot!
