  I had the shrimp scampi and it was very good I'd get it again. Sides were fantastic and shared between my group.

  TL;DR: Too expensive for what you get, inattentive service, dim unwelcoming atmosphere, and parking validation locked behind a paid signup. One good dessert doesn’t save it. We came here to celebrate a birthday, ordered drinks, an appetizer, main courses, and desserts for two. The appetizer came out almost right away, but then we waited about 30 minutes for our mains, even though the restaurant wasn’t very busy. The food was okay, but not nearly good enough for the price. Service felt inattentive most of the night. It was hard to flag anyone down, whether it be for drinks or any other reason. The atmosphere overall tried to be upscale but the entire restaurant was dim and dark while the staff were also inattentive which lent it to feel more cold and uninviting, which didn’t help the experience. Our total ended up being $162 for two people. Parking validation isn’t included unless you sign up for their “club,” which is a paid membership. Paying extra just to get parking validated after already spending that much on dinner felt unnecessary and honestly kind of frustrating. If you’re in the area, I’d instead recommend P.F. Chang's It’s quite literally across the pavement. the food is better, the staff are friendlier, the atmosphere is more welcoming, and parking validation comes free of extortion. Overall, this felt like a mediocre fine-dining experience with a premium price tag. However the crème brûlée was genuinely great and probably the best part of the meal, but it wasn’t enough to make me want to come back.

  We got lucky and had a privacy booth. Made our meal somewhat intimate and I think that added to the ambiance. We started with the candied walnut salad. Definitely recommend it. Perfect balance of sweet and balsamic on a bed of greens. From there we had the stuffed salmon and ribeye! Both were outstanding, but the steak was top 5 ever for me. So full of flavor and cooked perfectly to my desired medium-plus temperature. Of course we saved room for dessert. We did the crème brûlée and followed up with the chocolate box. Never had anything like that before…. Absolutely delectable and could be shared by 4 so consider yourselves warned. Will for sure be back!

  We had the Caesar salad with chicken, it was excellent.The chicken was so flavorful and tender that we ordered another one to take back to our room for a protein boost. Smash burger and fries were good, the portions were small but maybe that's because we came at lunch, same with the salad, small portion size. I will say the smash burger looked like a regular burger but it was still good. I hope to come back for the steak someday. The sourdough had an amazing crust. Overall very happy with food,we will be back when we are in town.

  I haven’t been here in forever, and my last visit was also for Happy Hour, so it felt like a full-circle moment coming back. We were a party of 3 and luckily snagged three seats at the bar. Hein was our bartender/server and he was fantastic — super friendly, attentive, and spot-on with recommendations. We ordered from their HH menu and did an upgrade on the Old Fashioned. For food, we went in: Crispy Asian Calamari- I love this! Definitely not your usual boring calamari. It’s lightly battered, fried to a golden crisp, and tossed in this sweet-spicy Asian glaze that is ultra delicious. Perfect crunchy bite and amazing with a cocktail. Spicy Asian Shrimp Tacos- These surprised me! The kimchi aioli adds the perfect tangy kick. Really flavorful. Cheeseburger- My bf ordered this and he really liked it simple, classic, and done well. Truffle Mac (regular menu)- My friend planned for us to share it, but the portion was small so we let her enjoy it. I did get one bite, creamy, truffle-forward, and really good! Upside Down Candied Walnut Apple Pie (regular menu)- Hein recommended this and I’m so glad he did. It’s a 10/10! Warm, cozy, caramel-drizzled goodness paired with ice cream. If you’re thinking about dessert, order this and thank me later! Lol. Overall, a wonderful Happy Hour experience. Great food, and excellent service from Hein. We’ll definitely be back to do a regular dine-in next time!
