    We were a group of 12 people and we ate upstairs and it was wonderful in every way. We could hear each other talk, it was cozy, the food was good, and the service was good but a little slow. We were not in a hurry, so it didn’t matter, but it was really quite slow. They did ask if we were going to play and we were not so it was not a problem for us. I highly recommend the restaurant.

    Our new favourite destination restaurant chain having also dined at the OP in Bev Hills in the summer (we live in Uk). Superb food and fantastic service. Only minor complaint was having to wait for table to be prepared and then when we were shown to our table it was not made up for 4 people. Otherwise we all agreed that the quality of the scallops and the filet mignon was 10 out of 10.
