Pepperoni fry bread is a must-try at this restaurant. If you visit and skip this dish, you're really missing out. It's also my go-to spot for dinner at the bar; my wife and I have never even dined at a table. The menu changes regularly, so there's always something new to try. We've never had a bad meal or drink here. I’d give it a perfect score: 10/10 for overall experience and 5/5 for food!
The modern and stylish decor, featuring velvet curtains and atomic chandeliers, sets a sophisticated tone for the experience ahead. The menu reflects the chef's commitment to serving fresh, seasonal ingredients, showcasing intriguing flavor combinations and cocktail pairings that are sure to capture your attention. Be sure to try the flatbread with pepperoni butter and don’t overlook the desserts. However, it can be a bit challenging to hear your server over the bustling atmosphere.
I’m giving this restaurant 3 stars mainly because I've only visited once, so my experience is limited, and our server was excellent. Unfortunately, the food didn't meet expectations. The lamb was overly salted, which obscured its natural flavor—something I find puzzling. Additionally, my lamb shank was smothered in strawberries, and pairing that with a cheesy risotto that was undercooked didn’t work at all. On a positive note, the scallops appetizer was good, but it’s hard to go wrong with scallops. However, the time between courses was excessively long, and the prices were too high for the quality of the food. While the service was great and the atmosphere was fine, it wasn’t anything special. I probably won’t return.
The vibe was great. My server was wonderful. However, the food was just ok. I’ll give 4.5/5 stars for the famous fry bread with pepperoni butter. That was very good. However, I thought the $37 lamb risotto with strawberry and peas was lacking. That was a 2/5. It was not bursting with flavor, needed more salt and spices or something. Odd combination of flavors as well that I didn’t find unpleasant but I know I wouldn’t order again. Also took about 50 minutes to come out, but my server kindly removed the bread from my bill as compensation.
