    We had amazing service both from our waiter and the rest of the staff. Water glasses never went dry and they were quick to take orders and more beverages. Fabulous music and drinks. I loved all the food except one item we ordered. Seriously the best service from any bar/club I’ve been to. Additionally they were very accommodating with reservation changes

    I like this restaurant for its stylish decor and interesting food, but because many of the dishes offer unusual combinations of ingredients, they can be hit or miss for me. We enjoyed the fresh oysters, chicken liver mousse, and chicken/beef tongue skewers, but didn’t care for the burrata and toast, which I found heavy handed, or the autumn salad, which was more a collection of sweet fruits than a salad. Chocolate cookies were also a disappointment because I expected something with a lot more chocolate incorporated into the dough, whereas the predominant taste with these was more sweet than anything else. I’ll return to try more dishes but would describe this food as more innovative than comforting, so again, a mix of risk and reward.

    This was the Best culinary experience I've had in a long time. Everything I tried was over the top delicious. The presentation is delightful. All items are served family style so ask the server the size of the dish you are thinking about. I had the 3 dips with pita bread for a starter. Each dip was unique & mouth watering. Next I had lamb chops served on a bed of tiny potatoes with a cream gravy, beyond yummy, followed by brussel sprouts, & mushrooms. Vegetables were ordered separately & were also yummy. I treated myself to loukamatis (sp) delicious beignets with cream anglaise sauce. Delicious but I'm not a fan of fried bread. All in all this was a great dinning experience. The service can only be described as great. You have to experience it to believe it. The only draw back is the iffy parking downtown. I would take an uber next time.
