    We have had much better meals here....recipes seemed to have been changed. Also my biscuit was not very fresh, was dry and hard like it had been sitting under a light for hours. Will definitely try again and hope that it was just a one time thing.

    Steaks were fantastic and the heated salt block is a unique experience. The side dishes, risotto and Mac and cheese lobster were served cold and therefore were not great. Otherwise the flavors of both sides were good.

    We had a Foie Gras appetizer that was unrecognizable. The Clams Linguine tasted a bit off. The linguine was actually crunchy…..more than just a little under done. 2 entrees came to the table 10 minutes apart.

    Core 450 is our favorite restaurant! We’ve been for special occasions or also just to have brunch, lunch or dinner and they never fail to exceed our expectations! Their food always tastes super fresh and the service is amazing! Also the best mimosas I’ve ever had!!
