    The food and service were excellent, but the noise level was high. The loud birthday celebrations are also a bit tacky for an elegant restaurant. I will certainly be back for a repeat.

    The food was excellent but it was uncomfortably cold in the restaurant. I had to put my coat on. Will not go back in the winter.

    The Choice offers exactly that, wide range of food options. It is all cooked and presented with care. They are very accommodating. One of our guests had gluten issues and they were quick to adjust the food to accommodate her preferences. The new decor and has really brought the restaurant to another level. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    This is a neighborhood 💎! The staff is warm and welcoming. The menu is extensive and there is something for everyone. The dishes were not only delicious but also visually stunning. We LOVE that we can bring our own wine

    So overall the experience was, fine. Quiet, clean restaurant, although we could hear the kitchen music over the dining room music which was a bit distracting. Our servers were very nice but not attentive. We were one of 3 tables in the restaurant and we went very long periods of time without seeing them. The food was plated beautifully, but unpopular opinion, it was all just ok. I feel like much of it lacked flavor. We ordered 4 apps and there really wasn’t one that I can say was amazing. My entree was the sea bass, which was very good, and my husband had the short rib, which was very dry. If you go, skip the deserts all together, definitely not their strong suit. I was really excited to try this restaurant since everyone says it’s a hidden gem. Unfortunately we won’t be back.
