    This was my first time dining here, and I can see why you need to make reservations days in advance. What impressed me the most was the service. Our server was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. Also, the culture of the service harkens back to fine dining experiences of the past. It just feels like a special treat or indulgence that justifies the prices. Right down to the glassware, and change of utensils with each course. The decor of the restaurant adds to that feeling. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. I also loved that you can make healthy choices with the main entrees, sides, and dessert, especially! How nice it was to have something simple like fresh berries with creme fraiche to choose over heavier desserts. And I appreciate that the berries were the star of the plate, and the creme fraiche was just an accent. Although, the decaf cappuccino I ordered could have been a dessert in and of itself...it was that good. Our cocktails were also perfectly crafted and offered some unique options.
