    Requested booth with privacy for a cozy birthday celebration and they sat us right at the entry way where everyone walked by and you could feel the draft from bar area. Crab tempera bites for appetizer was tasty. Wagyu trio great but extremely small portions for price. Brussel sprouts overwhelmingly tasted of vinegar. Server was nice but somewhat preoccupied with tables elsewhere. For the almost $500.00 birthday dinner tab, I doubt I will ever return.

    This is our go-to place for anniversaries and birthdays. The food is excellent (get the hamachi shots), the service is stellar & the drinks are superb.

    It’s costly but well worth the money. The food and service are exceptional. We are family style that allowed us to indulge in many items, all of which were great. I think they should put the grilled Romaine as a regular side - loved it.

    Make no mistake, we had a nice time and the service and ambiance were excellent. We found the dishes to vary, however. Most were truly excellent, but a couple were a bit off the mark in light of the pricing which is quite aspirational.

    Service was so lovely and had the best first date experience here. Food was delicious, ambiance was beautiful, and it was a quiet atmosphere to talk in without feeling like anyone else could hear. Thank you so much for your kindness, care, and hospitality.
