I had dinner here on Christmas Eve, and unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. We only have one option for the course menu at $85 per person, which felt overpriced for what we got. The food was very average—nothing special at all. We waited 30 minutes for the main course, and then another 15 minutes for dessert, which was also underwhelming. To top it off, there was a 20% service charge added, bringing our total to $300 for two people. For that price, we expected much better quality and service. Definitely not worth it—won’t be coming back.

Two small criticisms - acoustics could be better to allow conversations and entrees should be served to very one at table at same time.

Hi, The room is beautiful, but the service is fair and so was the food. For the exorbitant amount charged, I hoped for better. We had not been in 5 years to the holiday tea, and sadly the service and the food are not nearly as good as we remember. Also please keep in mind that they automatically add a 23% gratuity.

I had an amazing time celebrating my birthday at your restaurant! Chris, our waiter for the night, was exceptional - friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. His outstanding service made my special night even more memorable. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Been wanting to go since they remodeled and was very pleased with everything. The space did not disappoint (very nice remodel). We have a 5 yo son so we didn’t mind it was a little loud in there, so if you’re going for a quiet dinner, it might not be the best option. The food, cocktails, and service were excellent. We’ll be back and would certainly recommend to friends.

Beautiful restaurant. Service was incredible. We had high expectations for the dinner. Both our meals were definitely lacking that “wow” flavor that we were expecting. Not much flavor. My suggestion, grab a drink, enjoy the beauty of the restaurant and eat across the street at Purple.
