I took a friend to 1931 to celebrate her retirement and she loved the salmon she ordered. There was a piano player in the lounge, which added to the lovely ambiance of this restaurant. Our server was helpful and welcoming.

Monday night dinner post Valentine's Day. There were maybe five other tables occupied. Service was great however disappointing that they were out of two things we ordered (not informed beforehand). Steak was excellent; scallops not so much. Love the ambience - especially the bar!

Serving a fixed menu due to Valentine's day. The food seemed to be prepared sous vide and the meats needed to be seared before serving. Fingerling potatoes were under cooked and poorly seasoned . I will try again with the normal menu because we love this venue.

We actually never ate. We had a reservation and arrived a couple minutes early. We’re seated quickly as they weren’t full yet. The hostess asked if we wanted water and that’s the last we saw of anyone. We noticed servers standing around and people seated after us getting waited on. We waited 18 minutes (yes, we timed it) and no one came to our table to see if we were waited on, needed drinks, nothing. The hostess kept glancing at our table but never came over to check on us. She pretended not to know where she at us. There were less than 10 couples in our area. Totally ruined our Valentines date night. We walked out and told the hostess why.

Best dinning experience by far in a long time! We made the reservation to celebrate our engagement. I had some special requests (A centerpiece I brought the day before, "Coco movie" symbolic glasses, welcoming preparations for my fiancée). They made everything perfect, and each detail was just as I wished. The food was delicious (we had salmon). Two wine glasses and deserts were on them. We ended extremely pleased. It was such a personalized and unique experience. Unforgettable occasion. The staff did amazing. We can't thank everyone enough!
