   The food was pretty good, we really liked the shishito hash, but the service was very slow even though they had plenty of staff and it wasn't busy. Then they messed up our check and gave it to another table who paid with a hotel voucher. Then, they spent over 20 minutes trying to figure out what went wrong and void the voucher payment and still charged us the full price. Then, when we went to get our valet, the front desk had lost our ticket, and the valet guy made us walk to our car instead of getting it for us. Poor service.

   Dinner menu had a nice variety for a limited Valentine’s Day offering. Tomato bisque was delicious and my wife and daughter split a Citrus salad. The main courses were delicious. Service was outstanding and we loved walking the art exhibit after.

   We have not been here for a number of years. Previously, the portions were small and the prices were too high for what you got. However, last night was fantastic. All four of us had HERB CRUSTED HALIBUT grilled grits, carrot beurre blanc, leek. We had sides of SMASHED YUKON GOLD POTATOES fried rosemary and parmesan and ROASTED CAULIFLOWER miso brown butter, urfa biber, parmesan. The sides were huge and were shared by all four of us. The portions were great and the flavors were amazing. For dessert we had the BASQUE BURNT CHEESECAKE (crustless), which was the best that I have had out at a restaurant. What a change! We will be back. I recommend everyone try this place again!

   Fantastic experience. Beautiful atmosphere, and culinary highlights were the octopus and sarsaparilla sorbet.

   We were seated for an hour before getting our starters and almost another before getting our entrees. Most of the food was very good, but the scallop entree was minuscule, and the desserts were average. The cotton candy, however, is amazing! Truly.

   We were underwhelmed at best. The food was mediocre, especially for the price point. Atmosphere was cool, our server was incredibly nice, but too busy. We sat with empty drinks for 15+ mins multiple times.

   We had an excellent experience. The choices of wine were great; the grigio and riesling we ordered were excellent. the appetizers were good. The Barramundi fish was exquisite. As were the portobello mushrooms. The burnt cheesecake with cherry compote was to die for.

   It wasn’t very busy, but we went on a Monday which is to be expected. Our appetizer and entrees were great (the burger and market fish), but the dessert wasn’t my personal favorite. They gave my boyfriend a complimentary birthday dessert which was very nice and he enjoyed it a lot! Our server was wonderful and overall service was great. I would definitely go back for special occasions!

   Pricey but worth it. The waiter was attentive but not pushy or dramatic. We never needed a utensil or water and the wait between courses was just right.
