We went for The Feast of Seven Fishes (only counted 6). Started with cocktails, but the 1st course came ahead of them, so we waited. Both (different) cocktails were mostly nugget ice and heavily citrused. Won’t order cocktails again. Small plates were decent, but confidently small. The lobster tortellini plate made up for the total meal and was generous. Basque cheesecake is an interesting less-sweet option but I wouldn’t opt for it.

We LOVED our experience this past weekend. From the host to the server (Jazz, I think his name was) to the food and the drinks, this entire dining experience was beyond 5 stars. My husband and I have had such a hard time finding a place to have a nice meal recently and I cannot gush enough about how tender the Veal was, how attentive but not clingy Jazz was, and how the hostess cared so much about making our night special. We cannot wait to return.

Really nice restaurant. Excellent service and good food. I am glad we were in the back area as it got too crowded in the main area and was far more noisy. Overall a great restaurant with really attentive hosts.
