We were 4 people, we have been here 4 times past 6 months, service was great, food only ok, felt like food needed more taste. Very disappointed, especially what I accustom too. Especially for the money. 600 bucks for 4 people. Quality of food needs to improve.

Met a friend. The waiter sensed we had a lot of catching up to do. He wasn't one bit pushy and quite courteous. I believe his name is Martin. Great food and service.

This place has been a gem for the better part of 3 decades. Chef's have come and gone but it stays consistently great. Great food, outstanding service and the best wine list to value that you can find in the whole city. We had not been in a while and during dinner we had to ask ourselves why. Try it, you'll love it.
