    The food and service were great, just a bit noisy, as expected, with many celebrating. The food format, small plate tapas now, changed since our last visit a year ago, we are from out of town, but still plenty to share. Highly recommended!

    Went to try the holiday cocktails and Reveillon dinner, what a spectacular deal! For 67$ we had four amazing courses. We tried every offering on the menu and every single one was delicious and perfectly cooked. The duck confit was my favorite and the tuna tartare was a close second! Service didn’t miss a beat. Definitely a can’t miss on the Christmas cocktail trail!

    This is perhaps the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. It is a high end place but the value for the quality is excellent. The food was outstanding from the warm biscuits to the fabulous lobster dumplings to the Pompano fish to the bread pudding dessert. All four of us raved about our meals. The servers were wonderful. The noise level was pretty high. One server did put the entre and the dessert in front if the wrong person but that's the only possible criticism I can offer. This was an amazing dining experience.
