Had a team lunch today for nine people. Great restaurant. I’ve been to many places that cannot handle large parties. Everything was flawless. Service, decor, food quality. All top notch. My only gripe is that it is expensive and some of the plate portions looked smaller than I expected them to be.

Wonderful evening. Perfect place for a celebratory dinner. Love the tenderloin with poached lobster. Seared tenderloin was perfect. Only need for improvement: lobster appeared smaller than on the past.
