Wonderful food combined with excellent, attentive service....dining at Spinning Bones is always a treat and we look forward to our next visit. You could make an entire meal from their small plates and salads options, but for a bigger meal, we like to get a few "combo" entrees and enjoy it, "family-style", when we come for dinner. Previous visits during lunch hours, you can't go wrong with a burger or my favorite, the fried chicken sandwich, BUT, don't forget to first ask for their "specials of the day" or you might regret missing out on some real winners, too!

I love Commis Bar. The service is friendly and top notch. The food is excellent and the wine pairings are perfect. It ain’t cheap, though cheaper than the adjoining dining room. But what the hell! Treat yourself once in a while.

Our first visit to this Michelin star restaurant Miller and Lux was an intriguing introduction to upscale dining. From the moment we walked in, the elegant ambiance set the stage for an evening of culinary exploration. We sampled a selection of dishes that truly highlighted the chef’s skill. The Tomahawk steak was a standout—perfectly cooked and bursting with rich, savory flavors that hinted at careful seasoning and precision in technique. The truffle mac and cheese was delightfully creamy and comforting, a modern twist on a classic dish that left us craving another bite. The salad provided a refreshing contrast with its crisp, vibrant ingredients, made tableside, while the deviled eggs were a playful yet sophisticated nod to traditional flavors, elevated with subtle, unexpected accents. Service throughout the meal was friendly and attentive, though it didn’t quite reach the impeccable standards often associated with Michelin star dining. The staff maintained a warm and polite demeanor, but there were moments when the level of personalized attention could have been sharper. As expected with a Michelin star establishment, the cost was on the higher end. While the prices reflect the quality of the ingredients and the artistry of the presentation, it’s important for diners to be aware that this is a premium dining experience. In summary, despite the service falling just short of stellar, the exceptional food quality and creative dishes made this first Michelin star experience truly memorable. For those willing to indulge in a high-end culinary adventure, Miller and Lux offers a gratifying taste of innovative cuisine and refined flavors.

Everything was wonderful. From the minute we walked in the door. We were greeted by smiling welcoming staff, which was consistent throughout our dinning experience. We had several starters, which are all very good. The duck was fantastic as was the bread with the sweet creamy butter. Perfection. Sommelier was wonderful with his recommendations and we enjoyed ALL our wine.

We celebrated my dad’s 65th birthday here and the Sociale team went above and beyond to make it special. They gave us a perfect table inside but with a view of the festive front outdoor area and our server was so kind. The host helped organize the cake we brought in and they brought it out with candles lit and everything. Noise levels were quiet which was nice for quality conversation. Food was yummy and they did special split pasta dishes for those of us who couldn’t choose between 2 options on the menu. My dad absolutely loved the whole experience! Thank you Sociale!!!
