   Second time here and somehow I was more impressed than the first time! Appetizers Crispy Brie and Spicy Tuna Tartare were outstanding. The others dining with me raved about the New York Strip, Reserve Pork Chop, and Portobello Wellington. I may have had the best chicken dish I ever eaten: the Pan Roasted Chicken Marsala! The desserts were flawless. Thank you Chef Adam!!!

   I've been here a few times and it has been consistently exceptional every time. The chef is top notch and I love the way he combines different flavors together to create such amazing dishes. I will definitely be a frequent customer.

   This was our initial time at F1RST and had a great overall experience . Chef and owner Adam brought an eclectic and seasonal menu with plenty of appetizer and entree choices whether you like seafood , meat or a vegetarian . The restaurant , at least tonight , was a lively BYOB. Usually the noise level you get a a place with a bar. I personally like a more lively atmosphere where you can talk loudly and not feel like you are on an intimate date . The restaurant is modern and comforting although I was confused by one lamp that changed colors throughout the night . Not sure if that was for a reason or by mistake. Some food highlights although all were good , was the home made gnocchi appetizer , which was light and had a slight pan sear , with sage butter and blue cheese . The Cabernet braised beef bolognese was one of the best I have had in a while . The duck was cooked perfectly and honestly probably could have fooled someone who says they don’t like duck to try a piece . For dessert , although all the homemade sorbets and ice creams sounded great , we opted for his version of a mounds bar . Definitely worth getting as one of your desserts for the table. We will definitely come back.

   This is a great restaurant. The food was excellent and the service was just enough - not too intrusive and not overly ignoring. The food is a bit pricey but worth it. I had the rack of lamb cooled perfectly and my wife had the chicken marsala delicious! It’s a BYO so that lowers the overall bill. Highly, highly recommend

   Amazing time with the wife. Great food. One captain server and a bunch of table servers. Amazing how it’s accomplished. Darker side for more romance and brighter side for larger gatherings and loud parties

   What a jewel! This restaurant is one in a million! Each dish was prepared with love and the finest ingredients. Chef Adam is creative and every bite was an explosion of tastes. The freshest of ingredients along with a brilliant culinary vision make First a 12 on 1-10 scale! Every dish was a visual delight and an awesome treat for the palette. Linda, our wonderful server, was a pleasure. She knew the menu inside and out and described the delicious specials perfectly. From appetizer to dessert it absolutely exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to go back!
