   Had a late reservation. Table of 4. 2 had fish entrees that were good. Steak entree was served cold and steak was tough. Maybe just an off night.

   This is an easy restaurant to review: Everything was great. The food was perfect. Drinks were excellent. And Javier, our waiter. took incredible care of us, even providing a lesson on wines. We left not only well fed, but with an unexpected education on food and wine. Javier even confirmed for our daughter why hospitality was a great choice for her college major. We don’t live nearby but we will surely be back as soon as we can. Thanks Javier and the rest of the team.

   Everything about this restaurant is special. Its location in an old house; its outstanding bar (try one of their special cocktails, such as Gin & Juice); the imaginative dishes, perfectly cooked; the personal but not intrusive service. While it's not inexpensive, you get big-city high-end food and ambience without the big-city price tag, and you do get your money's worth. Highly recommended!

    The food was exceptional. The taste and texture of the food hinted at the high level of care and attention of its preparation by the chef. Can’t wait to go back and try other things on the menu.

    Anniversary dinner on a Tuesday. Very quiet, attentive service, compact creative menu. Cocktails were creative and well prepared. Our sever was great at explaining the dishes. The wine list was compact but nonetheless quite satisfactory. Server help pair wine food nicely. Food was over the top! Both our starters and mains were outstanding. The atmosphere was pleasant if a little plain. The outside appearance belies that excellent experience you are about to have. The food is not inexpensive so it is a great place for foodies but probably less so the picky or less adventurous. Highly recommend this place. We have already scheduled our next dinner here.

    Service was impeccable. The meal far surpassed our expectations - more like experiencing fine art than merely dinner. The only downside was the music in the restaurant - a jazz piano or trio is far better suited to the experience than the 80's Playlist that was just a bit too loud for conversation. Overall, a delightful evening - our first visit tonight won't be our last. Pricey, but worth the splurge. Not a place for kids.

    Very nice place but not up to the cost of food. Waitstaff dressed like slobs. Sorry, but if you are asking $50 for a steak plus other items, you need to class up the place.

    Phenomenal meal. The cocktails (Manhattan) were fantastic. The house wine (Syrah) was great. We had not been for a few years and we are kicking ourselves for not going back sooner. Looking forward our next time. Our time away will be shorter this time.
