The broccolini was to die for. Excellent. The seabass was ok The steak was great, the short ribs were great, the Duck two ways was great, the white rabbit resiling was great. The pudding was to die for. The table was ready to celebrate my son's bday with the proper decorations. Never seen that ever in any other restaurant. The service and the attention were exceptional. The price was on point. Dinner and drinks for all 5 of us and 4 desserts was $400.00. One of my nue favarity restaurants. Was difficult to find on the back of the building. Not facing the street address listed.

We sat on the bar side. It was lively and happy. The bartenders command the bar and it’s fun. Their support team is even more impressive. We uber’d there and were happy to hear they had their own car service for a ride home. Parking can be tricky. They have taken the stress out of having a beautiful experience. Well done.
