Food was excellent as usual, but the service was very disappointing. They seemed to be quite short staffed! It took almost 15 minutes to even get seated even though there were plenty of tables available. Just One hostess who was severely overworked and just two waiters for the entire floor upstairs. No sign whatsoever anywhere of Management!! Fine dining does not run on autopilot!! Need someone in charge and not in the kitchen!

Nice, romantic and great vibe. Food was very good exempt for the crab cake appetizer. Food came out quick and drinks didn’t take either despite a very busy bar. Will return.

This is a beautiful restaurant and has a beautiful ambiance. The drinks and food are worth every penny. The beet salad was an unexpected favorite and the scallops were beyond delish.

The food and service were excellent. Our waiter was very professional and attentive. The drinks, however, were disappointing. I think they had a new bartender. If Dante isn't there, the drinks are not worth getting.
