The food was exceptional as always. The chef consistently adds a twist to even the old favorites. Try the friend brussel sprouts, they added sweet caramelized onions and they are perfect! Always great service and the cocktails are exquisite. Another favorite, bavette steak - tender and juicy.

The food was fantastic. Our server was also very good. We had 2 platters, 2 small plates, and one appetizer item. The flavor combinations for all of the dishes were both complex and delicious. I will definitely return.

My wife and I went to celebrate our anniversary. I must say it was a treat. The service was extraordinary. Everyone who served us was pleasant and it was obvious they enjoyed working at the restaurant. My wife and I could not recall having a better dining experience. The food was out of this world. I don't understand why they have not been given a Michelin star.
