    This was one of the BEST restaurants we've eaten at. The service was impeccable, and the flavor of the food was very balanced. The crab cake was amazing with no fillers, and the pork belly appetizer was very tender. The Chilean Sea Bass entree wasn't fishy and balanced well with the mashed sweet potato. My husband's filet mignon was so tender, he barely needed the knife and it was cooked a perfect medium-rare. I would highly recommend the brussel sprouts as a side for the steak...great balsamic flavor, and chef's kiss for the lobster mac and cheese. You could actually taste and see the lobster. For dessert we chose the butter cake AND bread pudding, but the portion was so generous you could definitly split one if it's just a party of two. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and made great suggestions. The only issue I had was that it was quite chilly sitting in the atrium portion, beautiful decor, but cold. We will definitely be back for a special occasion.
