Our party of six was served by one wonderful server, Alexis, who, we discovered later, was looking after the entire restaurant single-handedly. We were absolutely blown away. She was efficient, lovely, responsive, and always back in just the right amount of time. She never let us feel neglected or wanting. Her intuition for always providing just what was needed at the right moment was astounding. The food was absolutely delicious and everybody enjoyed all their dishes. It really was a very special meal in a very special location.

It’s lovely to feel like you’ve gone back in time, long before Earl’s, Cactus Club, Milestones, etc, etc, kicked the fine dining experience to the curb. This was a special, tasteful, and unfortunately unique experience that reminds one of what being TREATED special by dedicated hosts, servers, and chefs really should be. This was magical.
