    The cocktails are wonderful! We loved the goat brie, but the lamb ragu was not a favorite. Next time we will try something else for an entree. The staff is all very friendly!

    Our party of four included a 3 yo and a 9 yo. All of us devoured the delicious variety of small plates and entrees. Each one was a hit: deviled eggs, b sprouts, corn chowder, lamb ragu, shrimp Alfredo, salmon, and two chocolatey desserts! The service was attentive without hovering. She seemed to appear tableside 2minutes before we knew we needed her. Highly recommend!

    Truffle Pomme Frites were good. They were nicely crunchy with good truffle flavor and a nice citrus aioli dip. OTOH the carrot cake was very dry. It’s like they baked the cake, sliced it into layers, then forgot about them for a few hours before frosting them. Service was great

    We were seated right away after being late due to horrible traffic. Our order was taken and drinks arrived promptly. We ordered the salumi and fromage which we have had before. Unfortunately the food tasted like the refrigerator. Obviously prepared and set aside, uncovered. It was disappointing. The soup was good.

    It appears that many people enjoy the food here. However we did not. What we figured out is that almost everything must be preassembled, kept cold, and pullled out as need. Maybe even microwaved. This makes sense from a cooking, serving perspective. The crowd shows up all at once before performances, so they have to be ready to GO! The charcuterie plate was totally cold and the bread was dry and cold. The salad was good, but also very cold, even the dish, so you could tell it came from a cooler. The meatballs had very little flavor, but the sauce was good. The lamb dish also looked great, but lacked the burst of flavor it could have had. Both did not come out steaming hot....I had a great cocktail, and glass of wine. We love the location, however we won't be back. Cannot pay that much for mediocre food. I think if Kevin Taylor ate the food, he would be disappointed in his restaurant.
