  Unique menu. Excellent service and atmosphere. The seafood could use improvement. Given the premium prices, the fish should all be wild caught. Farm raised salmon is not acceptable. I had the sea bass and expected it to be fresher. The mashed potatoes, cruciferous vegetables, and bread pudding were fantastic though.

  We were reccomended for our anniversary. Definitely a splurge well worth it. Everything was delicious and our server was super sweet. She even wrote us a card. Will return. The eggplant appetizer and muscles are 10/10

  This was my first time here at this restaurant. Was a little eager to try this place since it had good reviews online. The place was nice service was great. I ordered a blue cheese and honey walnut salad. It was very good but it wasnt a salad it was just cut romaine lettuce stalks. Im sure they think it was a fancy way to serve but it looked like something my 4 yr old niece could put together. I ordered the aged ribeye/medium, for the price point of $75 I expected it to be to perfection, tender pink in the middle. But no, instead I got an over cooked steak well done. The meat was tough, and flavor was confusing. There was a layer of crispy fired onions that came from box. Which i prefer my steak plain with natural juices and butter. After a few bites I just didnt want it anymore. The servers apologized and offered to replace the steak with another. But I politely refused. At this point I had already lost my appetite. I hope this review helps future visitors. And for the chef and restaurant, if your price point is going to be $70-$80 for a steak, my advice to you is, learn how to cook a damn steak. My wife had ordered the lamb chops which was plated nicely however it was a bit confusing because it was plated ontop of a naan bread. The naan bread really didnt have a purpose. Again flavor was okay but it was still not cooked correctly. It was still gamey, lamb chops should not be gamey if cooked properly, this leads me to question the quality of the food being served to customers or lack of experienced chefs and cooks.
