    Our first time here to celebrate my wife’s birthday. They are sticklers with your reservation time…no sooner, no later. The ambiance was like that of a movie set. They had a birthday card waiting on our table for my wife. The heaters were a nice balance to the outside air. Our waiter Solomon was charismatic, knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. Very impressed with the quality of food…bruschetta, short braised ribs and complimentary dessert for my wife’s birthday. We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you for a delightful experience!!!

    From the moment we were greeted to the time we got our check this was a top-notch experience. We got the perfect table in the corner which allowed us to converse with family we hadn’t seen in two years. Our waiter Reese was very professional and attentive without being too attentive. It was very noisy at first but then it emptied out. Our food was superb. At our table of four, two of us had the salmon, one had the meatloaf, and one had the ribeye. For dessert we shared the salted caramel and chocolate chip cookies which were all very good. They certainly stick to their high standards and live up to their reputation. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Had a reservation for inside but opted to sit outside instead and were able to be seated sooner. Great cocktail list and interesting variety of dinner options on the menu. Our food took a while to come out but we were kept informed by the manager and our server, which we appreciated. Manager discounted our bill which we didn’t request but definitely appreciated. Great spot with a vibrant crowd, would definitely go back!
