    Went to one of the last days of the experience. It maintained a high level of quality service. The waiting staff was always prompt and helpful. It was nice to see staff that seemed to be as enthusiastic to be at the experience as we were. The ambiance felt like I was in the cleanest version of a dubious bar. The effort for setting and dressing the experience was very clear. It wasn't just thrown together, all the design decisions felt thought out. Would visit another experience created by companies involved.

    We celebrated Valentine’s Day here and once again it didn’t disappoint! Our waiter was Luciano who we have had the good fortune to have him serve us for the third time. He was not only friendly and efficient in bringing us our food but also made time on a very busy night to listen to my husband’s jokes attentively. We both loved our bacon wrapped filets which were delicious, tender and cooked to medium rare perfectly. The cheese bread continues to be wonderful. The Beringer Cabernet complimented the filets We forgot to bring our bottle of champagne so we opted to bring home our whiskey bread pudding so we could enjoy it with our champagne. The perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Our only regret is that the warm bacon and spinach salad is no longer on the menu so we opted for the French onion soup which was good but we thought it would have been better with some more onions in it. We will definitely be back!
