    I’ve celebrated my birthday here every year since 2022 and it is always always outstanding. My expectations are exceeded each year. The last two years we’ve had the same server, Shirley I believe her name is. She is incredibly warm, welcoming, and good-natured. The service is always on point, the entire staff seems to work so well together everything truly just flows. The food is exceptional but the ambience and service are what keep us coming back. Stephen Starr’s restaurants never disappoint but this place is truly special. Thank you for a wonderful birthday dinner for the 4th year in a row!
