Went for my mom's birthday, such a great time! Beautiful venue, delicious food and drinks. Can't wait to go back!
We had a delicious meal in the Vale Room, I had monk fish wrapped in bacon, my husband and daughter had steak cooked to perfection. Our servers Bobby and Marco were excellent, charming, so knowledgeable and efficient! The cocktails are so good, with a nice selection of wines and spirits. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We came for Valentine's Dinner. We waited 30 minutes to be asked what we wanted to drink, another 30 for our appetizers, and another 30 for our entrees. Our waiter was uninformed about the menu, barely said a word to us, and never once asked us if we wanted another drink or how everything was. Twice the waiters tried to bring us dessert when we hadn't received our main course yet. We were never asked if we wanted coffee or another beverage with or after dessert.
The food was absolutely delicious, but we ordered the $38 duck supplement for two, which was mislabeled as a supplement when it was a replacement for the entrees, which the waiter was unaware of. We paid $38 extra to replace our entrees with one that was not nearly large enough for two people. It was, however, delicious.
Whenever we've come in the past, we have always had a great time. It is an absolute travesty that on a special night like valentine's night, everything fell apart.
We paid nearly $150 per head after "supplements" and cocktails, and I would be disappointed at the experience for 1/3rd that price. I would never come back for a special occasion, which is a shame because of how much we love the restaurant on a normal night out.
The only reason I'm giving an overall three stars instead of two is because our previous experiences at the restaurant have been much better, and the food was quite good even if it took us forever to receive it and it wasn't quite what we were expecting based on the menu and our waiter's clear lack of awareness of what he was serving.
It was amazing food. I had a short rib meal. Amazing. The cocktails WOW. One of the cocktails had chocolate... I don't even like chocolate ended up really liking it. Haha. But my only warning is just if your very hungry, you should know the portions are small and pricey. If your okay with that then this is a beautiful place to stop at.
Probably one of the nicer restaurants in the region, with elegant cocktails and fine wine, an array of suave apps including delicious vegetable fare, and premium entrees. The biscuits and honey are a phenom, and my scallops were on point.
The modern design decor and contemporary luxury vibe add a special and cinematic atmosphere. The service is attentive and polite.
Most of the other diners fit the scene, with the exception of the loud, drunk, and obnoxious table of four that was seated directly next to us (we had reservations for two on a date night), who came close to ruining an evening that we paid a pretty penny to experience. For those types, the hostesses should have read the room and isolated them. We expect more discretion next time.
