The restaurant was very noisy and our main dishes were sub par. My husband ordered the lobster gnocchi and it looked like something you'd get at Olive garden and tasted largely of flour. My scallops were cooked well but the items around them (rice wedges, corn foam, mushroom pieces) added nothing to the dish except an extra charge.

The menu is wat too limited now and the value price compared to portion size is just not there anymore. Service and ambiance is still outstanding and food presentation is excellent. Sad to say however I will moist not likely be going back.

                                                                      Overpriced mediocre food. I ordered the charred octopus which was so awful, I could not take a bite. I had it opt out for the crab cakes which was just as terrible. The main course was the sea bass, that too was unsatisfactory. The appearance of the restaurant could use a boost and the bathrooms are horrendous for the amount they charge for food. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

                                                                      Is this helpful?
