Was overpriced, well executed mains, small. Service and location was great. Afterwords had to go down the road for a salad/desert and food for the 8yo girl. Can see it as an old New York wannabe rich school vibe, photos of George Lucas and Frances Ford Coppella, mixed with the Female only wines was weird. Would I come back, na.
