They were outstanding! Put roses on the table for anniversary for us and our waiter Lee was fantastic. We got the cod and bass, along with a side of truffle mac n cheese. All were phenomenal and the environment was fabulous. If you can make a date to come visit this restaurant, I would do it! We will definitely be coming back here in the future!

I had been looking forward to trying this restaurant for a while but struggled to make it work with my schedule. I had several friends who had raved about it, though recently, I’d heard mixed reviews about inconsistent service and food quality. Upon arrival, I sat at the bar while waiting for a table, and ironically, it turned out to be the quietest and most intimate experience of the night. The restaurant itself has a very open concept—meaning you can see and hear everything around you. It’s a great spot for a casual dinner before heading out for the night, but not ideal for an intimate evening or a business conversation. We started with cocktails, but they lacked flavor and felt a bit bland overall. Starters- Steak Gnudi – Easily the best dish of the night. A bit rich, but the gnocchi and steak were cooked perfectly. King Crab – Very good, though it didn’t have the depth of flavor I’d expect from fresh king crab flown in daily. Still worth trying. Lobster Bisque – Disappointing. Lacked flavor and was arguably the worst lobster bisque I’ve had outside of a chain restaurant. Mains - NY Strip – Cooked to temp but had a strong, unmentioned smoke flavor. Rib Eye – Ordered medium rare but arrived medium well. I considered sending it back, but at that point, we’d already been there for two hours. I’m sure they would have corrected it if I had asked, but when you’re paying $80 for a steak, it shouldn’t leave the kitchen overcooked in the first place. Sides- Brussels Sprouts – Undercooked, mushy, and lacked flavor. I didn’t get any of the promised curry notes. Potatoes Au Gratin – Undercooked and under-seasoned. Dessert- Chocolate Cake – Decent but nothing special. Espresso Martinis – Not good. I’ve probably had worse at some point, but this wasn’t great. Service Our server tried but wasn’t polished. Odd moments included excusing herself for eating in the kitchen, tossing the steak into the potatoes when boxing leftovers, and sweeping food onto the walkway.

From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave the service is excellent. The vibe is everything you look forward to when having a date night. Our waiter Lee went above and beyond to make sure we had a good night! We loved the menu and especially the bone in NY strip that was so juicy and perfectly cooked. Probably the best steak I’ve ever had! Felt like I was dining in Chicago or out of town. Definitely my new favorite restaurant and will be back again to try more options on the menu.

10/10 would recommend and come again. I don’t know where to begin. Upon arrival we were greeted by the most welcoming staff, who quickly seated us at our table. Our hostess for the night Coco took hospitality to a new level. The drink appetizer’s mains and sides were absolutely fantastic. Will definitely be returning and can’t wait to try new item.
