    Food was mediocre at best, which is unfortunate as the service and ambiance were fantastic.

    Our server rushed us through the meal. Spending $155 per head plus alcohol. It’s not the dining experience I remember from this establishment.

    TLDR: Truly a wonderful place for a special occasion that I believe is worth experiencing at least once. Had to wait an HOUR for our reservation. It was my partner’s birthday and we had an 8:15pm reservation on a Wednesday, however, we didn’t get seated until around 9:25pm! We were there until almost midnight by the end of our meal! It was raining so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt because I can assume, due to the weather, there was very heavy traffic and many were probably late to their reservation. But an hour was very unexpected. They did try to make it better by comping our first round of drinks, which was nice but I just still wasn’t satisfied with the wait time. Also to note: I sent them messages over this platform but never heard back. I was trying to make a request and asked questions about the menu however I got no response. Probably better to call or email. Ambiance was as romantic as everyone says. Decor, lighting, and piano was beautiful! Wasn’t very noisy so my partner and I were able to converse comfortably. The meal was great! We did the 3-course pre fixe, would definitely recommend. However, for the price, the food wasn’t AMAZING. Although not as amazing as expected, my partner and I still very much enjoyed our meal/experience there. Our favorite dishes were the Duck Ragu, Beef Wellington, and the Chocolate Soufflé. And because it was my partner’s birthday, they brought out a cute little dessert for him on the house. For a special occasion, this dinner was a wonderful and romantic experience.
