    EXCEPTIONAL!! Best steak I've ever had! Do not pass on the cheese charcuterie board. The duck was fabulous! The lamb most exquisite! The salmon did not disappoint. Best Old Fashion, very smooth! Pricey but definitely a bucket list location, especially when it's all decorated for Christmas! Special occasion destination - anniversary, graduation, family visiting for holidays, etc. Our waiter, Paine, was the best! Very knowledgeable with amazing recommendations. I'm also most appreciative of the lady with Open Table that helped me change our reservation 3 times! :)

    Amazing food and outstanding service. Staff were very friendly and professional and provided great recommendations. Red snapper crudo and gnocchi were excellent! Drinks were great as well. Had an old fashioned and house made eggnog. Atmosphere was enjoyable and noise level was minimal so was easy to hold conversation. Definitely a place to check out if you haven’t been!!
