   Service was great, but despite several conversations with the staff, the kitchen brought out the food with exactly the ingredient I requested not to be included (due to an intolerance). After that got fixed, the food was delicious - I had the pork chop and it was so good, I had to finish it all! My friend ordered the gnocchi, and while they were very good, the portion was absolutely minuscule. I felt sorry for her for paying the price she paid for that. To me, that’s “fine dining” trying too hard. Overall, the ambience was nice and the service friendly, and I would go again.

   There were 2 of us. 1st time here. We were pleasantly surprised that the food was very good. My wife had the Rock fish and I had the Cat fish . Sticky Toffee pudding for dessert was delicious and the coffee was good. Hopefully we will be visiting again. The only negative for me, personally I like the traditional martini glass.

   Kale salad was terribly salty. Server didn't put in the main course order for one of the 4 of us; once it was realized, they rushed the cooking and the dish (pork chop) came out undercooked and arrived well after the rest of us had finished. Rockfish was a nice piece of fish but very bland preparation. Hamachi crudo same thing, little flavor. Overall very disappointing meal, especially at the fine dining prices.

   Thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Staff was very warm, welcoming and accommodating, atmosphere was attractive and comfortable with a spare, unstuffy aesthetic. Food was excellent, original and carefully composed. The tuna crudo was delicious and beautifully presented, the lobster gnocchi delectable in a beautifully complex sauce that hit a perfect balance between creaminess and citrus/lemongrassy freshness. Noise level was perfect - very easy to talk comfortably at the table, with just enough visual stimulation and buzz from the bar areas to feel festive.
