Party of 4 and we split the giant lobster tail and a19 oz ribeye. Waiter offered to cut it all which made it very easy to serve. Excellent wine list but few options at lower price points This is a top restaurant in every way but you pay dearly for it.

Very lovely dinner last night. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Interesting and creative flavor combinations. The tuna was amazing as was the steak. The staff was extremely friendly,attentive, and knowledgeable. Only downside we saw was the ambient noise level was quite high.

New menu is so good! We had the focaccia, hamachi crudo, Cesar salad, filet, chicken and pasta. Only complaint is they had dj music blasting throughout the entire restaurant and it was hard to have a conversation!
