    It was great except charged for sour dough bread we ordered b4 brunch and one of our orders came with bread which we didn’t touch and think the 3%+ service charge is crappy and not necessary!

    Holy moly! Every step of our dinner was out of sight! Try all three of the bigger than one bite amuses, the tater tot was so fun. The tuna crudo was fresh, citrusy with a little crunch from the baguette. We shared the NY strip with a side of whipped potatoes which was perfection. We finished our night enjoying the chocolate hazelnut mille-feuille with brown butter gelato…. Good lord that was dessert afterlife. This is one of those restaurants that popped up on my Instagram feed a while back and it lived up and destroyed the hype. The staff is fantastic and our server Sia was a fantastic guide, super charming, and we just loved our time with her. Can’t wait to return.
