   Was crammed tight sitting next to other people, but other than that was a beautiful experience

   My girlfriend and I had never been before but were very pleased with our experience. I reserved a two top on the patio and it was raining and cold outside but since it is inclosed and heated we were completely separate from the elements. The food was extraordinary and we were very pleased with the service and ambiance. Healthy portions and all of the food is organic and local farm sourced. It is expensive but for the quality of the food I definitely think its worth it for special occasions depending on your financial situation. The only complaints I have are the heater placement was above my girlfriend but at a 45 degree angle and hitting my eyes/face directly. I definitely stayed warm but I think adjusting the angle or table position would fair better. There also may have been a small leak in the roof or condensation buildup on the heater because my girlfriend had a few droplets of water fall on her head over an hour and a half period. Overall I will 100% be going back and recommend it to anyone that wants a high end experience with top tier quality and preparation of food. We didn’t order off the alcohol menu this time but I’m looking forward to diving into that on our next visit.

   Every single course was crave worthy, and Lee didn’t feel rushed. A thoroughly enjoyable and memorable Valentine Day dinner!

   We love this restaurant but this time experience wasn’t great. Food was good but we were seated at table closest to outside with air blowing in so we were too cold to enjoy. I had requested indoor seat. Was told on arrival it was first come first serve but wondered why asked at reservation then and there were open tables inside. We did take home very yummy chocolate dessert.

   A big miss! My wife and I have eaten here many times and have had great dining experiences. However, our meal on Valentine’s Day came up very short of expectations. First, we ordered martinis and I’m not sure there was much vodka in my espresso martini. Second, our waitress didn’t appear too excited about waiting on us. Third, I ordered the strip steak medium rare. For the first attempt, they made it almost well done. I sent it back and while the second attempt was better, it wasn’t close. I ate it anyway, tasted ok. I think the issue with the steak was that it was too thin, about a half inch thick. We’re reluctant to leave such a negative review but felt it was warranted, especially for the amount of money we spent.

   Why ask standard or outdoor seating if it isn't honored? Booked indoor seating and then sat outside on the "heated" patio in mid-February. Host was rude and dismissive when asked about honoring our reservation, as originally requested. Not an enjoyable experience.

   Service and atmosphere was great. All all food was fantastic except for the salmon being a little over cooked. The mussels, french fries with truffle oil, creme brulee all were exquisite!

    We felt the menu was very limited. I was informed by the manager that she did not want to serve the mussels I ordered as she did not like how they looked. My wife asked for some sort of protein for her salad and that was a tall ask. Once the manager told me I would not be getting mussels. We decided to get up and leave. We will not be returning.
