    The food was very good. My son had the salmon and I was worried that he wouldn’t like it because it might be dry. It’s also weird for a 13 year old to order salmon right? Anyway, he loved it. I was impressed. My wife ordered the pasta of the day or something like that. It had foie gras, truffle mixed in a cream sauce with duck. Crazy good. Burger was ok. Little over done. The place is pricey but the ambiance makes up for it. The wine cellar and bar look awesome.

    Thank you for your feedback, Jonathan! We're thrilled to hear that your son enjoyed the salmon and that your wife loved the pasta. We appreciate your comments on the burger and will keep that in mind. We're glad you enjoyed the ambiance and our wine cellar. We hope to welcome you back soon!

    The seafood linguine was not good. the scallops were great, but the shrimp tasted of nothing and the pasta sauce was loaded with oregano to the point that it was the only thing I could taste. The creme brulee was thick and possibly overcooked. Not a nice texture.

    The Filet Mignon was the most average, basic and bland meal I have ever had in my life. The ambience was average. The Jazz music was also average. Prices are extremely high for the overall experience offered. This place is just a tourist trap.
