Food was really good. The sourdough toasts were overcooked and hard to eat because of that, but everything else was perfect. Cocktails are delicious as are the fries. Get the fries - they are life changing.

Overall we had a nice evening, however a few things should be addressed. I feel strongly that this place is overpriced for what you get. We go regularly for dinner at every price level , so I know what most restaurants cost. Some of the oysters had a “fishy” smell. They were also not shucked properly so had to spit out some shell a couple of times. Not pleasant . Had the braised lamb. For the money it should be decent. It was some weird part of the lamb with next to no meat on it. Not cool. They did take it off the bill as they should but it left a lasting bad impression on everyone at the table. We had a lot of dishes and they were just ok. Nothing amazing by any means. We had been once before and same general impression that time, but gave it another chance with other friends. Wouldn’t be inclined to return.

The food, service, cocktails and ambiance was awesome. The menu changes daily so what you see on the website may not be on the menu the day you go. Total worth a visit!!!!

It was an anniversary lunch. They presented us two flutes of Champaign! It was great! The food was exceptional and service was just the right amount of attention. We'll be back.
