    Goldfinch was excellent! The filet mignon was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful. The service was attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

    I love this place, food is generally very good. I do think your Picaña though needs to be revised. There is way too much garlic in this dish. I was not kissable for the rest of the night. Also I would serve the salad on a separate bowl. The salad comes with a lot of vinagrete that unfortunately get’s into the steak when it’s all on the same dish. I love steak but all I could taste was vinegar..

    Great ambiance & very pleasant dining experience overall! Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Food is descent. Slightly on the overpriced side. Parking is easy with the large parking structure right next door. Will definitely come back.

    We had a great experience overall. The short ribs were so good, just needed some more mashed potatoes and veggies. We also order the artichokes with goat cheese as an appetizer- that was kind of disappointing. Barely anything for $17 and definitely not even sauce. The other dish we ordered was seasonal- the burrata bolognese. The sauce needed a lot of work, it was very watery and didn’t have a lot of taste. The pasta was fresh but overcooked. Our waiter was GG and he was so awesome! Five stars to him. It was pretty loud in there for a Tuesday night.

    My first time at the restaurant and I was impressed! It’s beautifully decorated with very sophisticated decor, open and airy area. The staff were attentive and friendly, knowledgeable waitress, delicious calamari appetizers, excellent pho burger with crisp French fries perfectly portioned.
