    Amazing food and great service. Only gave 4 stars because the kitchen took almost an hour to have our plates ready.

    The food is always superb. The mixed green salad was huge but overdressed and too much vinegar. I was disappointed by the lack of Holiday decor. Temperature wise, I was cold and kept my coat on for most of the meal. Ambience could be improved with sound absorption…we were a party of 3 at a round table and had difficulty carrying on a conversation due to the noise level.

    We had a table by an outside door and it was freezing outside so the table was right next to the door that had cold air poring in. We asked to be moved or turn up the heat. They could not move us because there were no other tables so we had to eat with our coats on. Not a pleasant experience at all high end restaurant. The food was great and our waiter and his staff were wonderful but the door should be closed off or insulated. Perhaps don’t use the table near the door in the winter.
