So I deducted a star for 2 reasons 1- The large TVs around the bar which I admit I couldn’t hear, were distracting me from the romantic atmosphere that Insignia offers with the modern jazz music , impeccable service, and wonderful food. 2- we had ordered from the $69 weekday pre fixe menu which gives you a great selection to choose from. What I didn’t care for was how the chef plated each dish. One dish had a piece of salmon and the other dish was skirt steak . Each cooked to perfection but looked naked on a plate with no trimmings. Gordon Ramsey would be highly disappointed to say the least. Well I said my piece and I would still go back !

The food was great, and the drink I had was even better! They made me an old drink ( Singapore Sling ) This was one of the best I have ever had! Not many Restaurants know how to make it right or they don't have the ingredients. Also they sang Happy Birthday to my Wife when We got our dessert she was HAPPY. All in all it was a great evening, THANK YOU!
