The food was great & we enjoyed being able to order off both menus. Great place to celebrate a birthday & was made even better with a beautifully decorated plate with a complementary piece of amazing cheesecake!

Food as usual was extraordinary! The service was ever so slightly off because the place was packed. Steak on the salt stone is my absolute favorite and never disappoints! The seared foie gras for two could’ve easily been served for four people. It was by far the best I had ever had anywhere. Yes, the place can be a little pricey, but the food is so special and the wine selection so wonderful. It’s well worth every penny.

Everything was delicious but the service really stands out. The entire staff is engaging and knowledgeable. One of the owners gave me a lesson on Ports.
