    The crab cakes were outstanding and gluten free. The flourless chocolate cake was also great. Service was terrific.

    Wonderful service by Stephen. The bar was backed up a bit so arrival of drinks were slow. Fish special for two was recommended and it was delicious but not worth the price; would have been better with individual entrees. Great setting.

    This was my second time dining here. It’s 5 stars on every level. Parking is easy. The staff is exceptional. The restaurant esthetics are beautiful. It’s comfortable and feels very private. The food is outstanding…presentation to flavor.

    While the service was amazing and ambience was lovely, the portion sizing was lackluster. The appetizers were not shareable sizes. The table we were seated at was quite wide and made it difficult to speak to one another. Otherwise, it was a lovely experience.

    This place along with the Conrad Hotel is completely overrated and overpriced. Limited menu and not particularly well executed. Except pricing is off the charts for what you get. Much better and reasonably priced choices nearby.

    Stayed at the Conrad Hilton and had some lite bites and breakfast for several days. Service was good. Food was ok with very limited choices but extravagantly priced. Not worth it even pretending that the Conrad is allegedly a luxury property and I’m a Hilton Diamond member.

    Service was very slow and felt forgotten much of the time. Risotto was excellent but Tuna dish was not my taste.
