    We booked an igloo for 11 people. It was nice in that we had a private space for our family get together but I was expecting the kind that we could see through. Even though we were on the rooftop with a lovely city view, you could not see out from the igloo so was kind of pointless. And door to igloo could only be latched from the outside so you couldn't leave to use the bathroom because then you couldn't latch the door once you returned. And it was too cold to leave the door open and they had one pitiful space heater. However we did enjoy our food and drinks. Server was initially overwhelmed but then food and drinks started coming steadily. We enjoyed all of the appetizers (meatballs, potato wedges, shrimp and artichoke dip). Entree salads were also good. Family had burger sliders and they were tasty. Note: pizzas are quite large. They are definitely shareable. We'll come back in warmer weather to enjoy the rooftop but wouldn't recommend the igloos unless it's a particularly warm night.

    Extraordinary experience from beginning to end. The maitre d’ recognized our request for a bourbon tasting with dinner and made sure to seat us at a table in Ross’s section. Ross was a delight. Funny, efficient, and knowledgeable with the menu and especially the bourbon. After asking us questions on type, style, price, he created a tasting that was perfect beginning to end. I am going to dream about my halibut main course and my husband raved about the Caesar salad. We will definitely be back when we come to town.

    Excellent spot for a date night. We truly enjoyed our meal and service was great. The food was delicious and fresh. We loved the open kitchen layout and the music for the evening was delightful.
