    Very bright, empty hotel bar. Not appealing at all.

    I went there for a last minute solo “date night” and I was very pleased with my experience. Staff was very attentive and food was flavorful. I would revisit again and again.

    Food was amazing, but the portions were tiny. Lived the atmosphere and ambience, but our service was terrible. Took my expensive drink that was half full without asking. Rarely checked in on us, we had to get the manager for silverware.

    Breath taking view upon entry. Positive energy from everyone who worked there. Immaculate setting and lighting, food was excellent as well. Sneaky little restaurant but did not disappoint. We went for restaurant week but I will certainly be back and maybe even stay cuz the rooms looks incredible as well. Thank you for a great evening.

    Great experience! Manager was incredibly welcoming and accommodating even before we got there and was very passionate and informative about the wine and drink selection. The drinks, wine, food, experience and ambiance were all wonderful! We will be back.

    Went for restaurant week and the food was amazing! Only complaint was the steak was a bit cold. But it was an excellent deal and the managers had excellent customer service and went above and beyond to recognize a birthday. Will definitely be going back!

    The food was delicious ! Our starters - roasted brussells sprouts & crispy maitake mushrooms were good! The grilled branzino was very tasty and perfectly grilled with a lot of flavor! Our serve Jeremiah was very attentive! The chef Chris came to our table a few times to see how the food tasted and asked for recommendations if there were any! The overall experience was exceptional! Thank you Chef Chris, Julie Best and Jeremiah for your awesome customer service!

    This restaurant, in an updated modern hotel, was the best! The service and the atmosphere were excellent. The portion size for the value was great. We really enjoyed the upbeat, lowkey music. It was a great place to explore in Old Town! Hats off to the manager too!
