Good portions. Steak was prepared a just the right temperature. Bread needs to come out with the salad not afterwards. Brussel sprouts were too burnt.

I booked the reservation in August for our anniversary. Noted this in the booking. I had requested an outdoor table. We were told due to rain they weren’t seating outside. When I mentioned that there was a roof, I was told it leaked. A couple came in shortly after us and were seated outside. We were stuck in a corner, view of high line wires. We booked here for a patio experience to celebrate our 4th anniversary. The price would have been fine if the ambiance would have been what we were anticipating. So very disappointing.

Beautiful night overall. Logan did a great job. The setting was so relaxing and the food was absolutely outstanding. We had 5 people, 2 fettucinis, one salmon, and 2 pork chops. Each person raved!!!

This was our 3rd time dining here so it can't be too bad right! Compared to other more or less fine dining in Cape it is our second choice for a place to go. The service is very much to our liking - not rushed, but around when you want something and the servers are EXCELLENT!

Thank you for taking the time to rate us, Tom! We are happy to see that you have visited us several times and hope that continues!
