    The food was subpar and very expensive. If we knew, we would have spent our $600 for 4 people elsewhere.

    Going out to celebrate our friends engagement and wanted to have a nice dinner out. Restaurant was VERY busy (it was Friday) and tables were very crammed together, and restaurant was very loud. The food was good and the service was good (not the best I’ve ever experienced, sufficient/satisfactory). Not dying to go back any time soon but did have a good meal.

    Food was good. Ordered 2 Wagyu steaks and 2 frities, cooked exactly how we asked for them. Ordered bottles of wine and I think we poured them in our glass more than the waitress did.

    So loud I couldn’t have a conversation with my wife or the server. The food was excellent! The atmosphere was great.

    Server was great, food was not good. The gnocchis had almost a fishy taste! The steak and undercooked. Not a great experience. They also sat us as a what looked like a 4 top but it was meant for two two tops. Uncomfortably close.
