    Requested booth with privacy for a cozy birthday celebration and they sat us right at the entry way where everyone walked by and you could feel the draft from bar area. Crab tempera bites for appetizer was tasty. Wagyu trio great but extremely small portions for price. Brussel sprouts overwhelmingly tasted of vinegar. Server was nice but somewhat preoccupied with tables elsewhere. For the almost $500.00 birthday dinner tab, I doubt I will ever return.

    This is our go-to place for anniversaries and birthdays. The food is excellent (get the hamachi shots), the service is stellar & the drinks are superb.

    It’s costly but well worth the money. The food and service are exceptional. We are family style that allowed us to indulge in many items, all of which were great. I think they should put the grilled Romaine as a regular side - loved it.
