    Every appetizer, entre and dessert was delicious -- perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Four of us ordered and loved: appetizers- tuna tartare, burrata salad, green salad, chicken pate; entrees - Chilean seabass with truffle sauce, duck in cherry sauce, halibut almondine, and sauteed scallops; and desserts - pecan pie and apple tart. Highly recommend this serene, romantic restaurant -- not cheap but totally worth it for the value and experience. If you want a quiet and serene fine dining experience, this is the place!

    The food and service were excellent, but the noise level was high. The loud birthday celebrations are also a bit tacky for an elegant restaurant. I will certainly be back for a repeat.

    The food was excellent but it was uncomfortably cold in the restaurant. I had to put my coat on. Will not go back in the winter.

    The Choice offers exactly that, wide range of food options. It is all cooked and presented with care. They are very accommodating. One of our guests had gluten issues and they were quick to adjust the food to accommodate her preferences. The new decor and has really brought the restaurant to another level. Highly recommend this restaurant.
