Enjoyed the Filet and the starters butternut squash soup & Brussel sprouts. Filet could have been cooked a little longer for medium & medium rare but did not take away from tenderness nor flavor. Service & ambience was excellent!

Very lovely dinner last night. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Interesting and creative flavor combinations. The tuna was amazing as was the steak. The staff was extremely friendly,attentive, and knowledgeable. Only downside we saw was the ambient noise level was quite high.
