    The food and drinks were outstanding. I had a wonderful seat by the fire that created a cozy atmosphere. There were plenty of other guests, but the nose level was minimal and it never felt cramped. Despite how busy it was, the food came out quickly and was well prepared and plated. My server, Heather, provided fantastic service. Will definitely be returning.

    We were seated at a high top for 2 people that overlooked the kitchen. My wife and I are average sized humans and we felt the table was a little cramped for shared plates, but this was the only negative thing to say about our evening. The service was outstanding with napkins, plates, and cutlery replaced with each course. The restaurant was filled with conversation and some fun music, about what you would expect with shared plates being the main theme. The drinks were great, the view from our table was superb. We had a look in on the open fire grill and the stone oven while also being able to watch the bartenders put on a show making cocktails. Food was top notch and came out spaced perfectly. We had the beef tartare, Carrots, octopus, and duck. This was an excellent date night, anniversary meal (if you’re ok with loud) or a great double date, I think 4 people here fits the menu size for their shared plates pretty well.

    Food was amazing. Parking in the underground lot with free validation was lovely. My 50 year old ears thought the music played was ok. My 20 year old daughter liked that it wasn’t “stuffy.”

    Choose Watermark for our monthly Dinner Club. Overall we had a very nice experience. We ordered chips and salsa as a table app but the salsa is very odd- more like a pasta sauce. It’s very smooth and not much flavor. For our entrees, 3 had the Fish and Chips and the portions were very big. So were the entree salads. The side salads also were very fresh and of ample size. One complaint not addressed was the menu said the perch was sautéed but it was delivered fried. Still tasty but not as it should have been cooked.
