    Enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Phenominal service all around. Enjoyed drinks in cozy bar area. Bartender recommended wine & fabulous grapefruit martini. Servers Skip & especially Paul really connected! Paul guided us on selections from appetizers thru dessert, also wine pairing. Everything absolutely delicious: tuna tartare, oyster sampling, delmonico steaks, scallops, hash browns, death by chocolate, and coconut cream pie. We can’t wait to return!
