    David our chef was pretty awesome and so was our waitress. Unfortunately we had an obnoxious table mate who kept criticizing the chef so that kinda soured the mood a bit but we were there for my son’s birthday and we quickly tried to ignore it. We tried to approach a manager to share how great our experience was but he was rude as can be and left us with a bad experience. I believe his name was Jason but I’m not sure. It might be a bit before we go back but the service was great.

    Great experience from check in to finish. One of the managers, Stephanie, came by our table at the beginning and was very kind and welcoming! All the servers and bussers had great energy, were knowledgeable, and contributed to a wonderful night out! Emily was a pro and so kind. Highly recommend the Lamb Hummus for a starter, if you eat meat! The Sea Bass is prepared a little differently from other restaurants. It was perfectly cooked, had some crisp and delicious flavor. Brussels Sprouts definitely deserve their moment. We do t often order dessert, but were curious about the special Hillel’s Donuts. You can taste the Prosecco in the chocolate sauce, and strawberry sauce was fresh! We will be back to this location soon!

    Beautiful restaurant with stylish decor, delicious food, and excellent service. The signature lobster bites and New York steak were perfect, but the miso bass stole the show. It was so fresh and soft like butter.
