I enjoyed an early reservation and sat at the bar. I was greeted by the staff and Zachy and was waited on by Elias. I ordered the Wasabi crusted oysters, Sea Scallop Risotto, a Polish Hummer Martini, and Apple Crisp for dessert, were all was delicious. The ambience was nice and peaceful. Perfect for a solo meal to think or a romantic dinner.
