The restaurant offers a mixed experience, with cold ambiance but friendly service. Limited menu options, but food from the kitchen is excellent. Wine prices are high. There are unique dishes like chakalaka and tasty foods at fair prices. Some reviews mention issues with reheated steak, forgotten side dishes, and potential allergies. However, the menu is creative, with standout dishes like ribeye, Brussels sprouts, and tempura delicata rings. The dining space is lovely and attentive to health considerations. Overall, the restaurant has potential for special occasions but may need improvements in service and menu variety.

This is one of the best places to eat in the city. eating is stellar and so is the incredible personal.

Was really rooting for this place to be great, but sadly could not deliver. They are in a unique location and have an interesting view and decor which we appreciated. They serve beer and wine, no liquor. So my husband and I opted for a glass of the Obsidian Cab. We ordered the apple honeycomb salad to start that didn't arrive and instead we got our entrees and had to ask for the salad and actually, that salad was the best part of the meal. For entrees, I had the Pork Milanese and my husband the Lamb Mafaldine. The Pork was hammered! Pounded too thin, thick breading and over fried. I couldn't cut it with the serrated steak knife they provided it was like eating jerky/I had to rip it apart with my hands. The Lamb dish was okay per my husband. We cut the night short and went to another restaurant to enjoy dessert and after dinner drinks.

Very interesting place located off the lobby of the old Florence Hotel so you need to wander in a ways into the building to find it. Background music was out of sync with the are deco vibe of the building, nit pick. The price point for Second Set is moderate. The pork milanese was very reminiscent of wiener schnitzel with an interesting cream sauce with greens. The Caesar salad was classically prepared with nearly a full head of romaine trimmed down. The house made dressing was perfect except there was a bit too much of it. Beer and wine only at the bar.

Brought me the wrong beer, found a piece of raw shrimp in her salad, pasta was unexceptionable, and the creme brulee was the worst I've ever had. Could overhear yelling in the kitchen, very very overated place. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30

Couldn’t seat me in the restaurant when there were open tables, sat me in the hotel lobby. Dinner was really expensive, potentially not worth the price.
