Very unexpected. We were quite surprised at how good everything was. It was a very quiet night in the restaurant which really was shocking being that everything was so delicious! From the appetizers, tuna tartar and creamy burrata to our main courses! I had the pork chop. It was so thick and juicy, and my friend had the fish and sticks, which she enjoyed as well. Oh and the Lemon Drop Marino made with Casa Migos was a the best! Thank you to our waiter/bartender for being so attentive to us.

The food was wonderful. The steak had a nice crust on it and the fries were crunchy. The tuna tartare was very fresh, I just wish it came with more toast. Other than that I will definitely come here again.

Came here on a Saturday for date night with a pulsd deal. The ambience was nicely dimmed lit with music playing. The service was impeccable from our waitress Danice. After our dinner, went upstairs to the 2nd and 3rd level lounge where the music hits were playing. Overall a good vibe if you’re looking for a date night and party afterwards.

This place is beautiful inside and great for a date (atmosphere wise) but the food quality does not match the atmosphere (tuna tartar wasn’t super fresh and steak cut was fatty). Also, it is definitely not a good value for what you end up spending. The pulsd deal we had for dinner for two (which recently went from $49 to $69) still resulted in us spending $150 for two drinks, two appetizers and two entrees. Also, beware that it turns into a nightclub after midnight so if that’s not your thing bring your date elsewhere or go early.

Terrible service ! There is actually no service at all but they will charge you directly 20% of gratuity without giving you the choice and mentioning that it’s their policy. At least if the service was correct it would be fine but the service is less than decent. You can wait forever before to be served... it’s a shame because the food is good.

This was OK. My fiancé and I went on a Wednesday, and the place was empty. The service was super slow, especially because it was empty, but there was also only one server who doubled as a bartender. She was superrrrrr sweet and I almost felt bad for her because she was totally alone. The food was average at best. The jerk pork was over cooked and super salty. For a $100 dinner, there are definitely better places in the city/on that block to go to. Their drink menu was extensive and the cocktails were good.

Dinner was fantastic! My partner had the Scottish salmon poke bowl starter and I had the steak tartare. We shared the shishito peppers side, and we both had the salmon main. I had the La Paloma cocktail and my partner had the Cucumber Martini. The food and drinks were fabulous and the service was excellent!

I purchased a $49 dinner for two voucher from Pulsd. Upon entering, the ambiance is absolutely stunning and gorgeous -- perfect for celebrating my anniversary. We were the only patrons in the dining area, while most visitors headed to the rooftop bar upstairs. It was a promising start, but things quickly took a turn with the service (or lack thereof) that we received. Our waiter stopped by, mumbled a "hey how are you guys", poured our water to less than half a cup, and went back behind the bar on his phone while dancing to the music and having a drink. We waited about 10 more minutes before he even took our order despite the fact that we were the ONLY customers there. After taking our order, for the next hour and a half of our meal, he never stopped by our table once. The bartender had to come over to take our additional drink orders and clean up our plates. This waiter continued to chat with other regulars at the bar, and made drinks for him and the greeter up front. In terms of the food, it was nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary. I ordered the Salmon Poke, which was decent -- the sauce was on the saltier side, and I have had better fish quality in local sushi restaurants. My partner ordered the Cornmeal Calamari, which was solid but again, nothing special. For our entrees, I ordered the tagliolini pasta -- while it was very fresh, it tasted almost flavorless aside from the bits of toasted almond mixed in. My partner's dish of Miso Salmon was a much better choice, as it was bursting with flavor. The drinks were unique and strong, and overall, a good value for our voucher. However, given the shoddy service, it did not make the experience very enjoyable for us. It is a shame because the venue is romantic and classy, and would be great for anniversaries if it weren't for the service.
