    Dined today
    Dined last night for our anniversary and was provided a lovely card (upon arrival) and brownie a la mode after our meal. Terry was our waiter for the evening. He was attentive, honest, and provided helpful recommendations. My partner got the 12 oz filet and I chose the branzino. Only comment is that the sauce on the fish was bland. It needed more taste.

    My partner and I had a great experience! We got some drinks at the bar first, then we got seated in the iconic train car for dinner. Our server Simone was amazing! She was super friendly, recommended good items on the menu, and she was all around so wonderful! The drinks were strong and had nice flavors, the food was absolutely delicious! The restaurant is also stunningly beautiful! Completely recommend!!

    It was fantastic. The only issue we had was that the food was kind of slow to come out, but I think we were there during a big rush. The server apologized profusely without us even making a point of it even offered to comp some of our food. Altogether excellent service
