    Here’s a polished review you can post: Disappointing Valentine’s Day Experience – Not Worth the Price I booked a pre-fixed Valentine’s Day dinner with a live performance, expecting a special and well-organized evening. Unfortunately, the experience fell short. Despite arriving on time for our late-night reservation, we were not seated until 45 minutes later—unacceptable given the premium price of $125 per person. The food was just okay—not bad, but nothing memorable. Service was fine, but the overall ambiance felt thrown together. The tables and chairs appeared to be cheaply rented, making the setting uncomfortable and far from cozy. For an occasion as special as Valentine’s Day, I expected much better attention to detail. At this price point, the experience should have been far more polished. I left feeling like I had made a poor choice for such an important night. Would not recommend for a special occasion.

    Let me be clear, the SERVICE was great, our waiter was paid handsomely for how great he was. However, threatening to charge customers $190 48 hours in advance of a reservation if they don't show up/cancel, is ridiculous. It is only ridiculous because if you are going to hold me to this standard, why did my wife and I stand for an hour waiting to be seated when we showed up 10 mins early to OUR time? Pretty sad and likely won't book here again for special occasions.

    We had reservations but still had to wait 25 minutes to be seated. The bread was cold, the salads were hot, the dishes didn't have any flavor. The ragu was awful. There were random spaghetti noddles in my wife's pasta, for some reason The duck was chewy, it wasn't tender. The drinks were ok but there was a constant lack of attention to details. Not a good first impression and not worth the money.

    An absolutely superb dinner on an otherwise difficult day to eat out. Food was amazing! I had filet mignon in a blueberry reduction. Lamb chops were also wonderful. Service was spit on amazing. Felt tended to without staff hovering.

    Dined for Valentine’s Day set menu. AMAZING!!! Did not feel like a typical Valentine’s Day restaurant production line - in and out ASAP to turn the tables over. Food was incredible. Plenty of time to enjoy the whole experience. Our server Alice was amazing.

    We did the Valentine’s Day special dinner and it was OK. The tables were so far apart. It felt awkward like we were in a high school gym. The building is beautiful and the guitar music was really nice. The food was good, but not great. The salad with goat cheese was really good and one of our favorites. Burrata with fig OK but I would’ve preferred some tomatoes or more Italian like accompaniments to the cheese. The ribbon pasta with lamb Ragu was good and the lamb chops were really good. I really enjoyed the lamb chops and the vegetables were perfect. For dessert I got the chocolate wafer which was very nice. Overall, I don’t think it was worth $260 price plus tip included in that for an evening out. It didn’t have the cozy feel, and I didn’t feel it was worth the money we spent. I would’ve preferred to order off the menu then eat what I had for the dinner.

    Overall the food was good. The steak was great. Top props for having the table set (can’t believe a napkin roll is the norm). The service staff didn’t seem to be motivated to make the restaurant great. They seemed unfamiliar with restaurant dining.
