Background music was too loud, also more of a cafe style seating. Not great for a business lunch

Ordering via QR code at a high end restaurant like this is not ideal. It totally disrupts the conversation flow. I would not return unless this is changed. Also, the menu (printed or online) did not contain allergen information.

Didn’t like the QR code menu (only) option to order. We weren’t able to stagger a shared dish before receiving our own dish. Potion size of a main dish included 5 quarter sized pasta tortellini for $20 and left you hungry. Quite expensive overall for lunch and can think of better places to enjoy a nicer ambiance and value. Sorry!

The space is stunning. In an atmosphere so elegant with prices being what they are we want a server to take an order and some warm hospitality. We received neither. We’d prefer to place order st a counter/register than use a QR code. The green goddess salad was stunningly beautiful and tasty. The n’duja dates were the best thing we tasted. We know the restaurant is brand new and will be back for more.
