We were a group of 8 people.. the steak came out too rare. And we had to send it back twice.. it was way overcooked when they finally got it…..2 people had sablefish and it came out cold and they had to send it back.. each entree came out at different times.. my friend had filet mignon.. and then after 15 minutes another entree came out.. I had the duck which was terrible! I will not be returning!

Beautiful, comfortable space. Excellent menu. The scallops were top notch. The side dishes were so well thought out and pleasing. Unfortunately the prawns were a like disappointing. But we’d had such an excellent experience overall I didn’t mind.
