While we enjoyed the truffle fries and meatballs, I am surprised this restaurant is in the Michelin guide. Servers talking to each other across aisles. Loud music. Staff carrying beer kegs and buckets of ice through dinning room. Not the atmosphere we expected.

Several visits, first review. This is an exceptional dining venue with a solid mix of environment and great food. Nathan has been my server a couple of times & has delivered in his role as our table host. The menu is diverse yet complimentary, including cocktails. Happy Hour is a must experience as is a later night visit after a show or game. Good show!

The food here is unreal. The wagyu carpaccio and the rotolo ai funghi (I recommend adding fresh truffle) were heavenly. Loved the vibe with the lights and music and service was great. 10/10 all around
