Excellent from start to finish! Ryan the bartender was very friendly, attentive and helpful with recommendations. Emily our server could not be more helpful. The food was excellent and everything was served piping hot- nothing sits under lights here! Pricey but you get what you pay for.

We appreciated the variety and the ability to order anything a la carte, even the items on the prix fixe menu. We were served quickly and the wait staff was attentive to our schedule. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and we were able to have good conversations without needing to shout to be heard, even as the restaurant filled up.
