First time going there. Everything was really good! This was my first time eating chicken burger and they didn’t disappoint me. Food was very good with reasonable prices. Staff was nice and polite. We made a reservation and didn’t have to wait at all. We arrived and went straight to the table. The even took in count my request for space for the stroller. I would recommend it. The only bad thing is that brunch is only for weekends .

For appetizers, the tuna tartare, beef ravioli & beet salad were outstanding. I enjoyed the shaken beef & garlic noodles. My family had the duck & chicken, they loved it. Great ambience although a bit pricey. They validate parking.

Except for valet (upon arrival, he just looked at us, zero greeting or communication...), our experience was excellent all around. Caviar service, veal mousse, carpaccio, gnocchi, lobster pasta, clam pasta, and halibut. Clam pasta was just okay. Everything else was perfect. Thank you, La Grotta.
