They used to be awesome all around but the food was disappointing- chicken had no flavor and was overcooked and the same with the short rib.

Appetizers were good but also basic (burrata, Brussel sprouts and tuna tartare) so hard to go wrong with them. Entrees were okay. Ordered sea bass, steak frites and short ribs. Only one person loved their meal (sea bass). The short ribs were terrible and very disappointing since it’s listed as a classic on the menu so you would think it’s something they specialize in. Service was good. Overall would return if I needed a restaurant with something for everyone.

After confirming the reservation 2x, showed up to find the restaurant had cancelled our reservation and blamed it on the computer. Luckily we were able to be seated. Noise levels are high making it difficult to have conversations. Food was acceptable, no big wow moments. Dessert was good. I don’t understand serving a gin & tonic in a wine glass, makes it hard to drink. Service was acceptable. Overall, not worth the price.

Great meal and service. The only drawback to this new location is that the noise level made it difficult to talk and hear. We will try it again perhaps when they are not busy.

Felt like the restaurant was short staffed. Wait staff was definitely taking a lot longer to get around to tables then the food. Difficult to manage time during lunch hour - business lunch!
