    I went for my birthday celebration. We had a table of 4. All of the servers were attentive, suggestive with menu items and drinks, and polite. The attire requiring business casual, made the dining experience exceptional for the occasion. It fit the motif and the level service to expect. The food was amazing and creative. I definitely would go again. I would recommend the restaurant for special evenings with family and loved ones as well.

    Great meal! We only had a short time for dinner as we were headed to a concert. The staff was extremely attentive, served courses at a perfect pace so we were timely but didn’t feel rushed. Food was delicious and plentiful. And it is SO nice to eat in a restaurant where you don’t have to shout to be heard. We carried on our conversation at normal speaking levels and didn’t hear from those at tables near us. Convenient location and definitely will be back.

    EXCELLENT in all ways except one. I found the music to be a bit too loud. It was fine when I was eating or talking with the person next to me, but when the staff behind the counter was talking to me about wines and the food, I had a hard time hearing because of the music. If it was turned down just a bit that would be nice. FYI, my hearing is fine.
