   Good concept but not well executed. Service was inconsistent and the server needed to take our cues. Unfortunately, the restaurant was out of the wine we chose. For us to return, we would need to feel like you can accommodate wines enthusiasts and can provide good service. Hope to hear back from you!

   It was our first time, and we dined with another couple. Everything was great. I think next time we’ll just hang in the bar area and listen to the live music. We highly recommend.

   Went to celebrate son’s birthday. The ambience is very nice. The service was very attentive and accommodating. The waitress Kiera even had my latte remade because it was too weak tasting. My Chilean sea bass was perfectly prepared. The ribeye and branding also quite good. My only quibble is the price of a glass of wine. A 9 oz pour of California Pinot noir was a steep $25.

   Friendly staff, Alexis was wonderful and attentive. Food was delicious. The lobster ravioli, short ribs, risotto were all on point! And to close the cheesecake yummy. Will be back!

   Was really excited to try this place for dinner. The ambiance is great. There was a large party so we were told our food would be delayed. However there was no compensation for this delay. My entree came and it was dry with no sauce! I was very disappointed. I ordered another entry which was not very good but I ate some of out of hunger. My husband had the ribeye which he he said mediocre. The other couple we went with had the brazing and prime rib which they enjoyed. The manager did come to check on me after sending my íntima entree back and asked if he could do anything I didn’t ask for anything but he also did t offer additional compensation. Our waiter Casseous was very pleasant and helpful. I think their brunch may be better (so I hear) but I wouldn’t return for dinner. It was also pricey at $252 for 4 entrees and the crab dip appetizer and 3 drinks for it to not be absolutely delicious.

   Drinks were good, but overpriced. Food was bland and overpriced. At least the service was decent. Will not be back.

   Go for the good food. But not if you’re on a schedule for a concert or really hungry. We sat in the bar area for almost 25 minutes to get water and glasses of wine. Apps and bread are slow to arrive. But it was worth the wait for the hummus duo and our entrees.
