    4.95 out of 5. Let me explain… we had an amazing window table, view was spectacular. The only nuance was that we were too close to the kitchen doors, so a bit noisy. However, the experience quickly faded away the noise. The settings were top notch, the ambiance couldn’t be better, very classy and distinguished. The food was out of this world, we enjoyed the distinct and special touch of flavors infused by the chef creations. The wine and cocktails selection was adequate and expansive. I ordered the ribeye steak and I couldn’t be more pleased with my selection. Also, as my 1st course I enjoyed the Caledonian Prawns . Amazing! Definitely I will repeat the experience and recommend the restaurant to my friends and colleagues.

    Yeah…please don’t let the rumors cause you to miss out on this place. The entire experience was AMAZING! Starting with the Parker rolls js the one thing you should guarantee, I’ll be thinking about them for weeks. We ordered the salmon, rolls, Brussels sprouts, burger, truffle fries and TWO orders of the Chicken and caviar. Also had their take on the old fashioned and a Paloma. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly and the icing on the cake was the conversation with their customer experience manager. She solidified the visit for us and I cannot wait to go back!
