Very nice setting with good service, but food was subpar. Brought out soups with meal, instead of before. Just not a good experience overall.

Food was not seasoned, drink costs were not listed, 19$ for a small expresso martini. Way too much in my book. Holiday D.J. was playing regular music not the usual vibe or sounds for a holiday weekend or based on past holiday times. Would not go back again.

Unfortunately, the service is not supportive of the overall experience. We sat for 25 minutes before our tea arrived and the cocktails we ordered came about ten minutes after or 35 minutes after we ordered. The food arrived sometime after. The server avoided us until the end when it was tip time. The food overall was good, as was the tea. There is something about being ignored for nearly thirty minutes that doesn’t sit well and marred the experience.

Essentially, it was too expensive for what it was. Meaning, the food was good, but the ambience was lacking. For two steak and frite meals it was over $90. By the time you add in two glasses of wine, which were not cheap or that good, the total Including tip was $190. For a little more money, we could’ve gone to Shanahan‘s or Ocean Prime or Narrative or any other restaurant that serves quality food but with a much better ambience and lower noise level. We will be not be back anytime soon.
