Overall, this restaurant is top-notch. Every course we tried was excellent and my wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The only area for improvement would be the dessert, which was good but not as impressive as the rest of the meal. We plan to return soon. The staff was exceptional, with a rating of 11 out of 10. The sommelier was excellent and we highly recommend the wine pairings, as they were incredible. This truly was a next-level dining experience.

I had the lobster roll and my guest had a caesar salad with anchovies. Both were very good tasting and attractively plated. The atmosphere were quiet and comfortable and the service was attentive without over-doing it.
