   Excellent food and good portions spoiled this visitor from nYc. Lobster bisque actually had lobster chunks, the avocado toast with Benedict eggs was superb, and the Reuben sandwich close to perfection. Terrific service and very reasonable brunch prices. Will mos def be back!

   Service was excellent, we were the only people in the restaurant the whole time we dined. The appetizers (arancini balls, grilled romaine salad) and the bread they serve before dinner were both excellent as well. We both ordered steaks (14 oz strip, and twin filet surf and turf) as they touted the steaks as the best anywhere in the area. Both filets were slightly overcooked, and the texture was off putting..I’d describe it as mushy and soggy. All the steaks and sides were over-salted by a wide margin. Unfortunately this seems to be the trend with quality steaks at fine dining establishments lately. The crab cake on the filet was the best I’ve had in a long time, kudos. Drinks, (both cocktails and wine by the glass) were overpriced at $16-30 per - even when comparing similar caliber restaurants in more expensive zip codes. We did not have desert. All-in-all, this place is trying, service was great, chef seems accomplished. I just wish they wouldn’t put so much salt on the food, and the drink prices were about 25% lower.

   We had a fantastic experience here. We had a mixed party of kids and adults. They were accommodating to all. The bar drinks were very well made, each catered to our liking. The meals were prepared beautifully and carefully. Everything was delicious. The bruschetta was the favorite appetizer. The shrimp were huge! And the egg rolls were very good as well. The surf and turf was wonderfully displayed and delicious. The crab cake stole the show! The sea bass was great as well as the smoked filets. The salmon also got a raving review. The chef came to check on our party and told us about some of the items we had eaten. So friendly and passionate about his menu. Great addition to the Valley! I hope they keep it up! Highly recommend! We will return!

   Absolutely fantastic! Beautifully presented cocktails and dinner! The lobster bisque is out of this world and we split the surf and turf dinner - 2 four ounce filets with grilled shrimp and crabcake topping. Delicious!

   Everything was delicious! We came in for Sunday brunch and loved it. Our server and the bartender were great, and we even got a visit from the chef. My loaded Bloody Mary was so good and the avocado toast with eggs Benedict was amazing. Can’t wait to go back already!

   I had lobster which was delicious. Our waitress was wonderful. There were six of us dining and everyone said their food was delicious. The entree was served separately. Everything else was al a carte which made for a pricey dining experience. If you like fine dining you will enjoy yourself

   Service was good. Waited at the door for a while before anyone seated us there was no host bartender had to come out to seat us and wait on us. Food was ok mostly tasted of dried Italian seasoning and oil.

    Oh boy. Where to start… Food/Drink: Negroni - worst I’ve ever had Bread service - good Fried Guac - tasteless with cold spots Seafood crown - very tasty, but confused by unnecessary sauces (it’s got a fresh salsa in it, but also topped with hoisin and spicy mayo…weird) Puff pastry crown was foul and tasted like it absorbed all the smells of the fridge. Lobster bisque - very good! Lobster tails - small, overcooked, tough NY strip - I ordered it rare, but it came out mid-well Ambiance: Tables WAY too close together. Unused space. White overhead lights. Decent decor. Had to wait to be seated as the hostess was on the phone, and 4 or 5 employees stood there and just watch….super weird. Service: Server was nice, but didn’t seem fine dining trained. Couldn’t navigate the table well since they’re so close together. Stated the oil for the bread was “Mexican flavor” because the “chef is Mexican”. Made my partner blow out the candle for the butter warmer because her hands were full. Value: Please save your money, or spend it in a restaurant that knows what they’re doing! If you are looking for a date night or a place to impress clients, just make the drive to Pittsburgh and go somewhere there that’s established as being fine dining. This isn’t it. Overall thoughts: This place has too many issues. When we first had some food issues, we were still in the mindset of wanting to return to give them another go, but by the end of the meal, it was just comical how many things went wrong, and that mindset had gone. I doubt we will ever be returning unless it’s clear that things have improved and the value is justified. Right now, our check was a hard pill to swallow for such a lackluster dining experience. Also, PLEASE stop putting micro green and hibiscus flowers on all…I mean ALL…of your dishes. The food should shine on its own without the need for wannabe pretentious plating.
