                                                          It was strangely not busy for a Saturday morning at 11:30. The staff was attentive and the food was great. There is a ton of street parking but they also have valet.

                                                          We went for Brunch. The hash and the French toast were insanely good. I would go back.

                                                          We were a little late due to traffic, but we were seated right away. Food prices were in line with the neighborhood. The beef tartar was a good appetizer, but we found the mushroom risotto to be a bit bland. I had the roasted chicken, which was good. My date had the wagyu steak, which was delicious. We tried the cobbler and bread pudding desserts. I preferred the bread pudding.

                                                          The food was good but for some unkown reason the hostess kept on selling us to go to the roof even tho I had specifically told her we wanted to stay inside Also 3 drinks and 3 meals at that portion size for over $200 really didn't seem like value.
