Always a great meal with fantastic service at this and all the Cecconi's locations that I have frequented worldwide. We were happy to get a table with a view and try some creative cuisine. The whipped ricotta with truffle was superb. I feel like a lot of restaurants have the same menus these days and the chef really puts his own spin on some basic items and really makes them mouth watering. Quite the enjoyable experience!

This was our first time to visit , and it will definitely not be the last. We were spoiled when we first entered …..:. Throughout the evening and until departure ….. 2 1/2 hours of an EXPERIENCE….. Steven the Sommelier was very knowledgeable and he had numerous recommendations for pairing with the food we selected and our bottle of wine we started with. …:: the pairing with desert blew us away …. And the valet summoning a driver ….. thanks again. And see you next time when we are in town. Bill Harris

Sweet place with a great atmosphere. Staff was friendly and attentive. Endive salad was superb. Octopus fresh and well presented. ONLY criticism- leave the croutons out of the squash soup- no need.
