   The dining room is beautiful! It's sexy, dark and warm....very inviting. Stash, the bartender made killer drinks and had jokes to match. The food was amazing! Oysters Rockefeller were baked perfectly with a crusty top. Octopus was incredibly tender and was paired so well with the dueling sauces. The wagyu tar tar had a fun twist and was served with hollowed out fingerlings instead of chips or crustini's. The foie gras toast was to die for. The ribeye and the scallops were perfectly executed and the Mac n cheese was super flavorful. It wasn't too creamy or too dry either. It could've been hotter, but that's a small detail. The only thing we didn't care for was the seafood salad. There was almost no salad or seafood. It was primarily farro which was not a pleasant mouth feel. Sky's service was warm and hospitable. It was a perfect night out with my dear friend and I couldn't be happier. It's pricey, but worth every penny. Can't wait to go back!

   The food was excellent. We all had steaks, all cooked to perfection. We shared mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and crispy brussels sprouts - all were outstanding. We also had dessert. The chocolate cake was delicious, but the biscoff cheesecake stole the show. It was amazing.

   The ambiance is so welcoming and romantic. Wally really took care of us and curated a special dinning experience. Whether you sit at a table or at the bar you’re definitely in for an amazing treat here at B&B.

   Food was so good! Ambiance was perfect. Much more boujie than you typically find up north which was fun for a girls night. The filet didn’t blow me away but the potatoes and banana foster and various other sides/starters we got were deliciouuuuus!

   Excellent, attentive service; nice ambience- great for a birthday or anniversary celebration. The rib eye was delicious! The mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese were decadent. And I ordered a cocktail that had pineapple and a smoky kick- it was really good.

    The service was excellent! Brick chicken “au jus” was very fatty chicken thighs with skin. Very little meat. Lots of fat. “Au jus” was a very fatty and salty sauce. Portions were huge. Grilled asparagus was stringy and chewy. Charred broccolini was delicious! We shared a dessert (3 people). An obscenely enormous piece of cake arrived at our table. Enough for 6 people. My husband had steak and was sick all night. Do not recommend.
