    Food and service were excellent. They did not have the fish that we ordered and proposed an alternative but didn’t tell us that it was $20 more. Aside from that it was overall very good. The smoked trout veloute was exceptional.

    Excellent server, food, drinks, and ambience. We enjoyed the coal roasted oysters, Seabass, Turbot, shiitake mushrooms, brussels sprouts, potatoes, and broccolini. We will definitely be back.

    The food was lovely, if a bit uneven. The deboned roasted Sea Bass was tasty with two sauces (brown butter and black pepper) were perfect, but the cockles were tiny. Drinks were not fancy but of good value. Service was outstanding our server Ebon made us feel pampered.

    Food was good. Espresso martini was just ok, but the experience overall was pretty good. I recommend the harissa chicken and the tuna crudo.

    Although the restaurant was a bit noisy and the food a little overpriced, everything was delicious and we would come back for another special occasion.

    Overall our dining experience was very good. Wait staff may have more tables than what is appropriate. Menu is a bit pricey. Ambiance is great and our meal selections were delicious.

    15 minutes before we saw a server. 30 minutes before a drink came out. Truly terrible service by any standard. Food shows promise but let down by either under staffing or under training. Crazy prices for some menu items but such is 2025. $28/glass for the cheapest champagne. Give me a break.

    The restaurant was relatively empty on a Wednesday evening. Our server was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu. The pacing of the courses was very good. We enjoyed everything we ordered. There are some poultry and meat options but the fish dominates the menu and it was inventive and delicious.
