   Service was friendly. Sea Bass was delicious. Cauliflower was overcooked and the truffle sprouts lacked truffles. Overall we enjoyed ourselves in a nice location.

   We were greeted well and the staff was very friendly. The objection we had was it took as long to get our drink as it did to get our meal and the meal came sooner than we would’ve liked. It seemed rushed.

   We had a wonderful dining experience. I had the Scottish salmon and my partner had the cod. Both were delicious. We shared garlic mashed potatoes. Yummy! I had red sangria! The best sangria I have had in a long time. Since it was my birthday the gelato was a great way to end the meal. Keep it up. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

   Ben our server was perfect. The burger was amazing. The mussels were good but could have been fresher and a bit too salty. Always love the location

   The food was delicious, there was a bit of a wait time even with a reservation. But the ambiente is always very nice and the food is top tier.

   I visited this restaurant for a brunch with my family, and what should have been a memorable occasion turned into a nightmare. The treatment we received from the management was absolutely unacceptable and felt blatantly discriminatory. After finishing our meal and preparing to leave, two ladies approached a guest at our table and quickly told him we “had to leave” before walking away without an explanation. When I went to the front desk to get clarification, they claimed our reservation time was up. Then, without evidence, they accused our group of using profanity and said that a chair broke during our reservation. First of all, no one in our group was aware of any chair breaking until one of our guests informed us that their chair had been faulty. Management already knew about the broken chair because it had been reported to them earlier. If anything, this is their responsibility for allowing damaged furniture to remain in use. Another table even suggested we could sue over this. The only moment we were louder than normal was while singing “Happy Birthday,” which is entirely appropriate for a celebration. Beyond that, our waiter never raised any issues about our behavior. It was shocking and hurtful to be singled out as “disruptive” when we were the only African American group in the area. Things escalated further when management—Margarite, Sam, and Alex—refused to provide proof of profanity or any issue with the chair. They even threatened to call the police, falsely claiming one of our guests was being aggressive. This was an outright lie, as I personally shook hands with the manager and apologized for any inconvenience caused by the chair. We were polite and respectful throughout, yet treated as if we were causing trouble. Adding insult to injury, our table felt surveilled the entire time, as if we were thieves under suspicion. This experience was not only disappointing but also felt discriminatory and unjust.
