Our server Lindsey was outstanding. Food from appetizers to desserts was great. My only complaint was the valet parking was $30+ tip. A restaurant across the street allows you so much time of free parking while dining at their restaurant and they charge minimal beyond the allowed time. For a restaurant I had a reservation at, you’d think they’d have a better parking offer.

Amazing experience. Phenomenal food with a great fried bass and uni hashbrown. Caviar service with hush puppies was fantastic. And I don't know if I can do caviar again without hush puppies. The cremeux dessert is to die for. Top notch service

Awesome restaurant with great food. The tuna crudo was phenomenal. The pumpkin with cheese ravioli was to die for. The best part was the bread pudding with ice cream. Have had bread pudding all over the world. This was moist and delicious. Kudos to the chef. The service was also top-notch. This place is definitely good for a business meal as well as a nice date. Highly recommend.
