Everything was wonderful EXCEPT THE LIGHTING & table height. We had two spotlights on our DINNER TABLE- which after trying several was a proper height. Sorry - but we will not be back - due to the ambiance!

We enjoyed a special night with our best friends sharing the Feast of the Seven Fishes. I had requested a quieter table and we were placed on a corner style booth. It was perfect. Very cozy and comfortable. The food and service were amazing. We were there for three hours. I loved not feeling rushed and being able to enjoy our time with friends. Adam our server was so much fun, very knowledgeable, and professional. The young lady that was his assistant keeping our water full and making sure we didn’t need anything was also very professional. I was very impressed with her. I didn’t get her name but she had just turned 16 and handled her self so well. We will definitely be back for the amazing food and to see Adam. Thanks for making our night amazing.

The evening started on a great note as they brought us each a small glass of champaign to help us celebrate our anniversary. I had made note of the occasion when I made the reservation. My wife and I both thought our entrees were fantastic. Friendliness and attentiveness of all the staff was great. Only glitch was desert. My wife ordered sorbet and I ordered the cookies. Her sorbet arrived quickly but after a 15 minute wait, still no cookies! Our waiter said they had just made them up and were getting ready to place them in the oven. Since my wife had finished her sorbet by then, I just cancelled the cookies , paid our bill and left. My normal experience with deserts that require a lengthy prep time is an alert either on the menu or by the wait staff. I'd suggest they might implement such a policy to avoid disappointing future guests.
