Outstanding food, especially the crispy octopus, and service in interesting surroundings. It was worth taking the extra time to view the art glass exhibits.

My 38th birthday dinner was fantastic and I had the 3 most important people there tonight with me. My husband, parents, & myself particularly love the quality of the water because it taste so clean , crisp, and fresh. Our server Charles was amazingly knowledgeable when he presented the type of meats, cuts, and quality of each chopped. I highly recommend the bone-in dry aged ribeye. All the food that we ordered was delectable. Thank You again for the birthday dessert. Looking forward to another great dining experience.
