    Well priced and great quality. I dine at an above average amount of top-tier restaurants and this is an excellent choice to not break the bank, have a great atmosphere and a well appointed menu. The craft cocktails were moderately priced and exceeded expectations. Shrimp florentine was quite good, lacking a bit of salt, however, that is personal preference. The service was excellent. If there is a negative, and take this lightly, it was a little loud. I had to dig deep to give any detractions. Highly recommend.

    Love this place. Very swanky. Service was great and food was also delicious. Prices are maybe a tad high, but I truly enjoyed my evening, so worth it. Be sure to go to the Ebenezer bar in the basement (same owner). It’s a great way to close out the evening in cool cocktail bar/speakeasy. Will go again.
