We arrived at the restaurant, a little bit late due to an unforeseen problem with our Uber driver, but was greeted cheerfully by the hostess and offered a complementary glass of sparkling wine. We were seated a short time later at a window seat with a beautiful view. We were greeted at the table by our server and offered our beverages which were brought promptly and kept full. We ordered from the menu. I ordered the Joey steak dinner. I upgraded to filet mignon, which was perfectly cooked and seasoned just right! My meal was accompanied by broccolini and potatoes in what seemed to be wrapped in a won ton. Wonderful presentation and excellent tasting. We proceeded to have dessert which consisted of a butter cake topped with vanilla ice cream, and a raspberry drizzle along with a garnish, mint of raspberries. I highly recommend this restaurant.
