    The food was good I wish they had an option for garlic butter for the steak sauce… and the mashpotatoes were not worth $18. Small portion no flavor. Steak was beautifully cooked and able to cut the filet with a fork. French onion was very good!

    It was our first time at this restaurant however, our family members had been there before and recommended it for Christmas Eve dinner. Perfect evening!! All of the staff treated us like family and were happy to have us there. tried several sushi and appetizers. The size of the maki rolls was unbelievable and the flavors outstanding.  we had a picky eater among us and we were shocked at the things he tried and the things he liked from tartare, to foi gras and even bone marrow, so impressed.  Cocktails were absolutely loved by everyone …. Thank you for making our Christmas Eve phenomenal… we’ll be back!

    Food and presentation a cut above the competition. Our party of 4 enjoyed a variety of brunch offerings, with the braised beef gnocchi dish particularly noteworthy. We finished the meal with the French Toast of the day - cinnamon and pear - a real treat! My only criticism would be the coffee - it was brewed a little weak - not clear if it was specific to that particular pot or reflected the beans used. While we did not order any brunch cocktails, we noted some interesting offerings on the drink menu and well prepared drinks being consumed by others. Strongly recommend a visit for brunch, lunch, or dinner. There special price fix dinners and lunches are also noteworthy.
