    Very good spot for a business lunch, quiet, food is good. A note about shareability would be appreciated though.

    The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great! Our food took a while to come out, but the staff were so sweet and gave us a free dessert to make up for it!

    The food and service was outstanding! Music was rap like. We are older so would have enjoyed a more mellow vibe.

    The room was quite cool perhaps a vent above us which was uncomfortable. We enjoyed all the dishes but a couple of them were outstanding

    We reserved downstairs and enjoyed the ambience-very cool 70’s vibe. Excellent service from our server, not to mention her fellow co workers supporting service throughout the evening-excellent team work. The food was delicious. Highlights for us being the burrata, scallops and sea bass. The “Shining” element was the added cherry on top for me-I love Stephen King😉 We were full and out of time-so dessert was not ordered. I look forward to a return visit! We dine out a lot, and the Wednesday Room wins our favorite vote to date.
