    Packed for a Wednesday night. For the 1st time, we tried Sweet Potato Fondant & Steak Tartare, both were delicious. We always order Carrots & Brussel Sprouts, Gnocchi is heavenly. Bass was a disappointment. The service can be a bit annoying because they prefer that patrons place the entire order at once. We prefer to pace our dinner.

    Amazing dinner sitting at the bar. The wait staff would chat with us when they were at the bar so we got some good insight as to what to order, etc. Special place…you can tell that everyone that works there loves it! Highly recommend

    This was my second time dining here and both times the service and the food were amazing. We got the steak, bass, and Brussels with gochujang. All were very good. Didn’t try any fun cocktails but they have good options. The vibes are also immaculate. Dimly lit with candles all around. Definitely a great date spot!
