This was everything that I could want in a nice dinner. The ambiance is the epitome of classic cool while being beautiful, cozy and comfortable. I sat in the lounge by the fireplace and it was so cozy. The service was impeccable. Amanda provided excellent recommendations and was very attentive and personable. The food was also outstanding. Truly a memorable meal from start to finish. I already look forward to returning.
