Service was friendly and professional. Was overall quite good. Salmon, gnocchi, steak all received high marks. Mushroom appetizer was excellent. Red Chile hush puppies were tasty. Only negative was my green chile smashburger. Not well seasoned, no much green chile but too much cheese.

There ware 4 in our party and we all loved our meals. We began with short rib and pork belly scewers and steak tar tar. For the main courses we ordered scallops, short rib pasta and the chicken. All entrees had a great presentation and were delicious. We ended the evening with drinks on the patio under the heat lamps and took in the beautiful city lights view.. The service was outstanding and the evening overall did not disappoint. We recommend level 5 for a fabulous dining experience.

Best in the city. If.you have to wait do it. It’s well worth it. They don’t list the sopapillas on the menu. I guess they figure everyone knows. I figured from the honey. Best I’ve ever had.

Went for a pre-theatre dinner, forgot to show my ticket for a discount, but still took advantage of happy hour and sat in the bar's lounge area. Interesting drinks, excellent service, and delicious food. The fried artichoke is a must! My server understood my beverage choices and made excellent recommendations.

Absolutely loved the fried shrimp and the Veal Marsala. Very few places in town offer veal. . . hint: substitute mashed potatoes for pasta for a special treat. The homemade dressing on the Caesar side salads was outstanding- special recipe, of course! And try a glass of Sangiovese. What's not to love?
