    Lilly was a great server. Food came out at a good pace. Price of food was exactly what is expected for quality of the restaurant. We were seated in the center of the dining room at a table for two didn’t feel crowded at all especially for valentines day.

    Our time was pushed back a half hour. The bar was busy due to this so took 15 minutes to get a drink. The times were very slow for a prefixed dinner. Food was excellent. We ended up leaning before dessert as we were there over 2 hours.

    Service was outstanding, ambiance was exquisite. Seating was very comfortable. Prices are high but you are paying for the ambiance. Reminds me of eating in west palm beach. Very classy. Portions sizes were all good. I had the RH Bellini.. good flavor, tasty drink. Started with the crispy artichokes. They had good flavor. Was my friend's first time trying artichokes and he enjoyed them. Next, I had the the Branzino. Friend had the Ribeye. Not a ton of flavor. Expect more flavor for the price.. but still, not bad. Truffle fries and asparagus were both good. Finished with the butterscotch brûlée. Sweet and it was enough for us to share. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and experience. We went for lunch. We didn't have to wait and it wasn't over crowded.
