    We had a fantastic time in this beautiful room. Maine scallops done in a Japanese style were terrific. The roast lamb loin delighted me. An apple cake dessert was to die for — excellent. This lovely restaurant has great food, excellent service (loved observing the staff working the room with precision and grace); highly recommend.

    We had the chef’s tasting menu. While some dishes were good, others were just okay and nothing special. Everything was very rich and heavy handed in butter. Portion sizes were fair, we left full. Packed and loud on a Sunday. Service took 3 hours to complete. Staff was very nice.

    My friend and I often go to 910 for lunch, but never before on a Sunday during holiday time. It was quite busy [happy for them] but the kitchen staff may have been down to fewer people and not so experienced? Her shrimp toast lacked seasonings and my eggs benedict looked terrible, were not hot and again, flavor was lacking. Most unusual for this usually stellar venue

    We were led to believe this was an upscale restaurant, country club casual. We expected this atmosphere. Next to us was a a husbands, donned in a baseball cap, his wife and two children. The children were loud, obnoxious, and continued with antics sprawling about there space. Other diners were shouting for attention at their tables, the noise level was over the top. I wanted to stand up but I’d have to scream, Quiet Down…. It was deafening, unbearable.

    May be my new #1. Glad I finally tried it. Every dish was fantastic and the service was top notch. The duck was the best duck dish I’ve ever had. The Cacio E Pepe was phenomenal.
