    Considering that we had dinner on Thanksgiving at 6pm, it would be easy to forgive any inconsistencies due to how difficult it is to have a full staff, BUT if the restaurant was understaffed, you'd never know. Service was impeccable, and the food was amazing. If you made me come up with any "miss" it was that we didn't get bread, while I did see other tables get some delicious looking rolls. Having nitpicked about the bread, I have to admit that the portions were large enough that I probably had no room for even a single roll. So, still 5 stars!!!!! This was our first visit, but we're already planning a return. Great location, great food, great staff.

    After booking our holiday party here in a few weeks we wanted to come do a dinner to try it out. It was above and beyond perfect. The ambiance at this restaurant was amazing! the service was fun, inviting and attentive. We had drinks at the full bar that was over flowing with amazing options and rare finds. The drink options were endless. We ordered the tuna appetizer that was spectacular, eggplant rollatini- best we have ever had, the crab legs oregenata, oysters Rockefeller- that were all delicious! the Wagu Carpaccio was absolutely heaven. a MUST!!!! The couple next to us ordered the seafood tower which we will be adding to our holiday party menu for sure. The extensive wine list was impressive. For dinner we had the Steak for Two. Perfectly cooked and pre sliced for us. The sides - lobster creamed corn, perfectly cooked asparagus , mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts- tasted like mom cooked them from scratch. The most amazing surprise was a spinach salad with warm dressing, mushrooms and crumbled bacon. We are absolutely coming back for that. We left happy, full, and satisfied- we even purchased a gift certificate for our best clients. Great way to share such a wonderful experience with friends for the holidays. WE LOVED our experience! 5 stars!
