I visited with my parents this past weekend, not expecting much, but we were all thoroughly impressed by the quality of the dishes. Every meal we tried was exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a great dining experience. The ambiance was delightful, and the service was excellent; the staff was eager to answer any questions we had about the menu.

The bacon bits with pumpkin seeds surprisingly paired really well! Steak Frites was really salty but was so tender. We got it medium rare and it was a delight; HIGHLY recommend (ask for light salt). We got here at 4pm so there was no wait. The interior is, how I would describe it, cozy industrial. It has intimate dinner vibes but open concept.

The overall experience of our anniversary dinner fell short. The evening overshadowed by inattentive service and a botched cocktail delivery leaving our table soaked and sticky with a drink spilled all over. The food runner that spilled the drink managed to save half of it and got a rag to clean the table but only got some of the drink cleaned up and left us with our elbows in sticky mess for the remainder of the meal. They didn't offer to remake the drink, nor did they apologize. I figured at this point they would at least remove it from the check. Nope the cocktail runner didn't even mention it to our server. I would have just assumed they would be communicating with each other on things such as this. The server rarely came around to check on us and seemed overwhelmed. At the end of the meal when the check was received I mentioned it and rather than comp the $14 cocktail, they just discounted it. Giving off Ross dress for less vibes. Not really so great with the service recovery, guys. Generally speaking, based on this experience I would not return. There are better culinarily experiences down the road..

The steak I got there, expensive though it was, was way the best steak I've had in over 20 years. Absolutely incredible as well as the potato that came with it. I hope my wife will treat me to another one. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50
