    While the service and atmosphere were beautiful, my husband and I were pretty disappointed with the some of the food (especially at this price point). In particular, the burrata appetizer was basically flavorless and the arancini had so much black pepper in them I could barely eat them, and I like pepper! Both of us enjoyed our entrees (miso cod and duck) as well as the gateau for the dessert. We were at the restaurant for a birthday, which I had included in our reservation details. Instead, the restaurant celebrated our anniversary, which was a little awkward. I checked our reservation after dinner and confirmed it was their mistake, not ours. The wine list is very extensive and we really enjoyed the Oregon Pinot Noir we were recommended. All in all though, the dinner was pretty disappointing for a meal that cost nearly $400.

    Food & service was excellent. It was a little noisy because of activity in the lobby. It's a little pricey as well but we enjoyed the dining experience.
