To call this a fine dining experience does not do the chef & staff justice. No doubt one of the best dining experiences of my life. more

Food good overall but very set on marketing a very expensive champagne as a promotion???????? at 40 dollars plus extra and a shaving of black truffle at 45 dollars plus extra with anything they think it matches. Not good in this current climate. Perhaps agree with some of the similar negative reviews and dont think from experience of serious dining... more

Very disappointing. First, this place is for business meetings -- quite LOUD, utterly unromantic, and very congested. Food is okay. Make sure to double-CHECK YOUR BILL. We were given a bill of DOUBLE the amount (instead of 2, we were charged for 4 dinners). It was an unacceptable mistake, since I generally don't check the bill. So I suggested that... more

I found it a little pretentious. The food was good and service was technically precise, just a little stuffy. Probably good for an older demographic, maybe someone that wants to impress their 3rd wife. more

I can't say I hated it but was surprised that several courses were underseasoned and a couple of items were overcooked. I was disappointed because I had such high expectations. Wine pairings were perfect and saved the meal - so did the filet mignon by the way, which was the best course of the 6. more
