We had reserved a table for four as it was Thanksgiving Saturday night before the theatre - but upon arrival the restaurant was empty. But we had the most delicious sumptuous feast with four different choices on the menu; every dish extraordinary and delicious; a waiter who graciously accepted additions and changes; a staff that was attentive; and a chef that deserves three stars for exceptional dishes.

Service was fairly slow Espresso martini mediocre Food was mediocre and lacking proper plating. For example the sole fish came with 4 Pisces’s of asparagus served on a different plate . server also refused to allow substitutes for eg potato’s or another side in place of the asparagus
