What an amazing find! Cannot believe we have gone all these years without dining here. Went last night for a birthday dinner and everything about it was perfect! A five star experience and we love that they have a dress code of cocktail attire and men must wear jackets. It made for such a special evening and it was a clear night so the city view was spectacular! Cannot wait to go back! Service, food, drinks, and noise level were perfect!

Kind of noisy but like a busy/cool to be there type of vibe. Don’t sleep on the buffalo chicken dumplings-pricey but well worth it. The cavatelli were rich, bursting with flavor from the sausage and mushrooms. Was full but indulged in the sticky toffee pudding-rich and buttery. Expensive and the portions looks small, but the food is rich and quality is outstanding. Great place to go for a special dinner.
