    This was my first time dining here and it was fantastic. Love the vibe. Food and service was excellent. I had noted in the reservation that one of the diners is a celiac and we were given a menu that was gf- definitely an appreciated rarity. Looking forward to my next visit.

    Honestly.. It was one of the first upscale restaurants I’ve been to, I can’t usually justify the huge price tag that comes with a meal for two. However, I had a baby 5 months ago & I felt we deserved the experience, having a night out to ourselves. It was superb. We had the Caesar, the cheese board, rolls, cornbread, Brussels, and risotto. The entrees sounded good but not necessarily what we were looking for. They made sure we were finished with our first appetizer course, its dishes, and even the table was wiped off between courses. The cocktails were moderately priced, the food prices were average for the atmosphere, and service was excellent - we had Eduardo as our server. Definitely recommend.
