    Wow the food here is absolutely delicious . We started with the oysters and the Wagyu tartare, both were incredible and I had the black cod and my husband had the pasta for dinner and it was amazing. Service from Erick was with a smile and very friendly atmosphere. It’s a bit small, with only one bathroom and was busy on a Saturday night, but we’ll definitely be back!

    The servers were personable and efficient. We had the celebration meal and each course was delicious and beautifully presented. There was only one hiccup in the evening which was rectified. Looking forward to going back in warmer weather and sitting in their beautiful patio

    Exceptional food and service. The garden patio is a delightful space and our server, and all support staff, were so warm, knowledgeable and professional. This was a first visit, but certainly not the last!!

    Excellent food and top notch service. The agnolotti and cod were our favorites, as well as my cocktail, French Riviera Sour. Looking forward to next time !

    It was extremely cold in there!!!! So many people were eating with their jacket on which is not a great experience. There’s at thermostat near the bathroom and it said it was 53 in there. The backdoor was kept open. I was literally shivering. It’s really hard to enjoy a really nice meal when you’re that cold. I just wanted to go home and be in my warm car or warm house or an other warm restaurant. It was also very, very loud. It was hard to have a conversation. It was a new experience for all 4 of us and unfortunately we won’t go back because being that cold during dinner is definitely not worth hundreds of dollars and we wouldn’t want to experience that again. the food was good overall. The waiter too.

    One of our favorite restaurants on rotation! They are constant and service is always on point. We absolutely recommend the golden hour’ dining experience ($60) for a 3 course gourmet meal. Lucas, the GM is fantastic and deserves 100 stars! He makes it a point to go to each table and goes above and beyond to make his guests experience a memorable one.
