Went during restaurant week. Food was good - servers seemed young /inexperienced as they brought food we didn’t order to our table, brought a following course when we had just been provided the previous course, and interrupted our eating a few times to ask if we were done when we clearly had more than half our food left. It’s a nice restaurant with good food and friendly staff. Rooftop bar is nice too with gas fire pits.

Highly recommend. From the service, food, and dessert everything was fantastic. The pre-fix menu is delightful. The salad was well dressed, not to dry, not soupy. Bread, perfectly artisan, super crispy edges, light airy dough. Steak prepared at desired temps. Fry portion was plentiful, and crispy. Apple pie could have been warmer when served, but it was still very good. and to top it all off, you receive a second helping! Who could ask for more.

First time - service was prompt and friendly, menu has so much to choose from, food was delivered after a very appropriate wait, amazing baked oysters, lamb, scallops and souffle. This was the first time and definitely will not be the last. Can't wait to come back!
