Fantastic experience. Started off with the caviar potato, 10/10 and the Foie gras, 10/10. We ordered the Prime Ribeye and Swordfish. The steak was cooked perfectly. Sides were the sweet potato, creamed spinach and carrots. The sweet potato was massive and the other two sides are easily shareable. Could have split just one side, maybe two. Martini was a 10/10. Our server Bernardo was outstanding and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.

A truly outstanding dining experience, with impeccable food and service, reasonable prices, and a welcoming fine-dining atmosphere that never feels pretentious. The food is exceptional, and the staff is fabulous. We both had the Maggiano’s salad, the filet, which is served with a delicious au jus from the steak, and the mashed potatoes, which are to die for.
