   I had been looking forward to dining here for months before moving out of the area, and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. The food was decent, but nothing memorable—definitely not worth the $600+ price tag me and my boyfriend spent. What really brought the experience down was the service. Our waiter seemed uninterested and lacked any warmth or engagement. I ordered a bottle of wine and had to keep reminding him to refill our glasses, which shouldn’t be the case at this price point. Overall, really underwhelmed and disappointed after all the anticipation.

   The food was absolutely incredible and most of the service throughout the night was outstanding — from the hostess to the support staff, everything was seamless. Unfortunately, our server really brought down the experience. Once we were seated, the service felt both rushed and inattentive. It took far too long for plates to be cleared between courses, even while nearby tables were being flipped efficiently. What should’ve been a 1.5-hour dinner ended up taking over two hours because of the lack of attentiveness at our table. The most frustrating part was trying to order wine. I was looking to buy a really nice bottle and asked for help choosing something based on what I like. Instead of listening to my preferences or making thoughtful suggestions, the server was dismissive, argumentative, and made me feel like I was wrong for liking certain wines. He wasn’t trying to understand what I was looking for — it felt like he was more interested in proving a point than helping me. I ended up picking a bottle that I really enjoyed, but only because I went with my gut — not because he helped guide the decision in any way. For the price point I was willing to spend, I expected much better service and support. Overall, while the food and ambiance were exceptional, the table service fell far short of what I’d expect from a restaurant of this caliber.

   Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right mix of elegance and comfort. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor — you can tell the ingredients are top quality and handled with care. The service was impeccable; attentive without being overbearing, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. From appetizers to dessert, everything was spot-on. Can’t wait to come back — this place is a true gem!

   What a lovely, romantic restaurant. It’s quiet, with a warm atmosphere and attentive staff. The food comes very quickly — almost too quickly to soak in the ambiance. I got my tartare just five minutes after ordering, and while it was delicious, I almost wished they’d taken a bit longer. I had slight doubts about the meat, but nothing major. I’d absolutely go back again.
