Loved salmon and black rice dish. My husband tried new Korean BBQ chicken - not anything impressive. Cook was heavy with soy sauce. Tapas always good

Our waiter Zach was very attentive and helpful. We didn’t love our Paella it didn’t have enough seafood all rice and veggies for $68 probably wouldn’t order again. We were celebrating my husband and our daughter in law birthday which the restaurant knew about. I was shocked when we weren’t offered at least one dessert. Wolfgang’s always gives us a free dessert of choice when celebrating an occasion.

Another great meal at “The Bull”! Our server Brook was excellent. Our good friend Vijay was on point with his wine recommendation (as always), and the food was excellent!

Wasn’t overly impressed! Wasn’t greeted at the door by hostess…had to wait at least 5 minutes…after being seated had to ask server three different times to get a drink…food was just average nothing spectacular.

Good was good. Service was very rushed. The computerized order taking equipment at the table gives off very fast casual vibes. Doesn’t fit the experience of fine dining. The bright lights from the open kitchen and loud bar just left us feeling like the restaurant didn’t know what it wanted to be. Maybe our expectations were misaligned but feels more like an after work happy hour hang out than a fine dinking dinner out.
