    Mandatory valet parking very slow on departure, and distant from restaurant entry doors. Difficult for those with mobility issues.

    The prefix valentines menu was a fail, offering sub par options and a disappointing experience. I was actually looking forward to sampling the standard menu, but denied the option during dinner and was given no notification that that wouldn’t be available, even after confirming the reservation and checking the website several times.

    I took my out for Valentine’s Day dinner. We arrived and had to have our car valet parked. Once inside the atmosphere was tremendous however we both felt the dinner and drinks were way over priced. Upon arrival we each had a drink at the bar and I ordered a special drink off the menu. For the price I paid it was about three ounces in a small glass, about half that of a martini glass and a glass of wine for my wife. We were seated in the dining room and was given a Valentine, limited option menu. The dinner came with a list of four appetizers to be shared, small salad, two choices for dinner and a desert. I ordered a glass of wine and it took over fifteen minutes to be received. Thank God my wife had her glass of wine from the bar. After ordering a couple two tables away ordered from the main menu and received their food and drink’s promptly. We both noticed they were eating pasta and what appeared to be a steak and salad. I then asked the server if we could have ordered from the main menu and she stated “yes”. We were never told or given menu and she stated we had to ask for it. We both have had been diner in other restaurants we both agreed were better. At the end, we were charged a high charge for valet and then a tip to the person retrieving the vehicle. Again, the ambiance was great but everything else was way over priced and service was extremely slow.

    We had a memorable dining experience. From the start, the hospitality was outstanding--everyone we interacted with was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive. The meal began with a cocktail and a snack. The oyster caprese and uni snacks were phenomenal--fresh, balanced, and expertly crafted. We also had the rock fish crudo, octopus, and filet mignon. Our server, Christian, made excellent recommendations, and the sommelier was personable and insightful. Every dish was executed with precision, from the simplest bites to the more intricate plates. We ended with a fantastic dessert, and while the espresso could have been better, it was a minor note in an otherwise flawless experience.
