Highlights were the salmon they cooked it medium well, and it was crispy outside and soft on the inside. The donuts for dessert didn't look super fancy, but they tasted great, and the servers brought them to us with a candle inside along with complimentary strawberry and vanilla ice cream. Background music contributed to the ambiance, but was not at all overwhelming. Price per person: $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

It was all about smaller sharable plates, so everyone got a bit of everything. The atmosphere was more casual than id expect, which was nice. The service was almost too fast, they didnt leave that artificial anticipatory room between ordering and getting the food, so by the time we were done with our main meal only about 35 minutes had passed since we sat down (i liked this, but it was unexpected). Go here if you want phenomenal (and expensive) food. Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Dietary restrictions: They were very accomodating for my shellfish allergy.

The food is seasoned thoughtfully, the quality is on par with their sister restaurant Alden and Harlow, but I prefer the ambience in here. Service is always a leisurely and friendly pace. I've never felt rushed or ignored, even on busy weekend evenings. This is also one of the few places with solid mocktails! They change up the selections, they're creative, and have complex flavor profiles. On the current menu, highly recommend the hickory smoked shrimp with *extra* focaccia! The tangy sauce is intensely flavorful but not too heavy. Last time I went, we ordered this with the asparagus and the two paired well together. Other standouts: uni bucatini, tomato burrata toast, and lobster cacio e pepe Friends I've gone here with are fans of the pizza which is too greasy for me, but if you don't mind that then I'd recommend the chopped clam or mushroom.

The menu offers a nice variety of delicious options. As for parking, there’s no street parking available, and the valet service costs $25, which feels overpriced considering it’s about the price of a single dish. The food was overall tasty and generous in portion, but I did find that the soft shell crab was undercooked, which made me feel unwell.
