Martini and appetizers were good. The short ribs were overcooked. Not tender as a short rib dish should be.

Delicious meal with great service. Incredible starter selections followed by generous portioned mains. Cool setting though a little noisy at times (we sat next to an area where there was a large gathering). Definitely will be back!

Very enjoyable! From reservation to departure, all was what we wanted. Our server worked exactly as I prefer, attentive but did not try to be part of our experience. The food was hot, good, and interesting. The space is open like most dining these days. The noise was at times distracting. Overall good value and definitely a repeat spot for our tastes.
