    Had a fabulous time at 220. The service was great. The food was fantastic. We ordered sea bass wraps for an appetizer, and they were fantastic. The salmon and short ribs were wonderful too. It's a great place to go for a special occasion or just to enjoy a great dining experience.

    We went for Sunday brunch and got there as they opened. We were seated immediately and ordered the banana fosters pancakes (so good) the filet tips, omelette and coffees. Everything was delicious! It’s a swanky vibe without being pretentious. Shannon(our server) was awesome! He was there whenever we needed him. Would definitely do brunch there again!
