    Decided to celebrate our anniversary here. Mind you, we’re young and not rich, so fine dining experiences are far and few in between. We were very excited! They kindly decorated our table with hearts and a card. Very nice! Unfortunately, and truly unfortunately, the dinner was very forgetful and not worth the money spent. The staff was kind and helpful, but unprofessional. They acted very casual. And since we sat near the kitchen, we heard the kitchen staff joking around and just being quite loud. I don’t mind hearing the staff, but it sounded like what my students sound like when I, their teacher, leave the room. Chaotic. The food was severely under-salted all around. Everything was fresh, but unfortunately not very flavorful. The best thing we tried was the bone marrow (roasted yet it was cold in the middle), and the beet salad. The steak was very mid. Portions are more generous than we expected. Overall we paid roughly $250 for our meal and regret it. It sucks that we waited so long to save up money only to have such an unsatisfactory meal. If you’re in the area, try Demetra instead.

    The seafood pasta with squid ink and prawn scampi entrees we ordered, paired with our Sauvignon blanc wine were outstanding. Our carrot cake and crème brûlée desserts were a delectable grand finale to the delicious entrees we enjoyed. Service was excellent!

    We had the most amazing evening here. They made sure our anniversary dinner was perfect—memories for a lifetime. The waiter was exceptional. The food was beyond description, and the warmed patio with dog beds, blankets for us, a doggie menu and doggie water station was just amazing. We both got excited about different specials, and they DID NOT disappoint. The steak and the halibut were just so so good, and the jasmine tea infused rice pudding was stunning. Impressive wine list (with lots of Italian reds, making my heart happy). We will make dinner here a tradition every time we visit!

    Food was amazing! The staff are friendly and a huge book of wines (if you are a wine sommelier you would love this). Overall, I would come back again.

    Food was delish! Every entree felt complete, rounded and intentional. Everything was fresh and satisfying. Service was excellent. Steven was a delight. Ambiance was laid back but special. Wonderful cocktails and yummy dessert. Would go back for sure.
