The fries were delicious and the oysters were fresh. The orzo was just ok, and didn’t have much flavor. Overall I wasn’t overwhelmed by the quality of the food, but it was good and I would recommend it.

We particularly enjoyed the mussels, radicchio salad, lamb bolognese, and macrina bread. We will definitely be returning in the future!

The service at this restaurant was awful. I had to practically serve myself because my food was left sitting for so long. read more The service at this restaurant was awful. I had to practically serve myself because my food was left sitting for so long.

The food was very good, but the portions were way too much for us. Our server, Tony, was very friendly, personable, helpful, and attentive.

We waited for 45 minutes for our food at a table for two. The 20 percent standard gratuity added was ridiculous. read more We waited for 45 minutes for our food at a table for two. The 20 percent standard gratuity added was ridiculous.

Really kind and attentive staff, our server Kailee (might be spelled wrong! was fantastic. My only complaint is that my halibut was served in a sweetish broth, which wasn’t my favorite but that’s just my personal taste preference! Overall great place for date night.

Tried the lox and bagels which was good. My wife tried the crab Benedict which was okay as well but had a lot of spinach for her liking. The potatoes that came along were really great. The staff was friendly and very helpful specifically since we were late for our reservation. We barely made it by closing time and they were very accommodating. The service was super fast as well.

We like to try new things on dates so I decided to go with eggs Benedict, the same as my wife. I never order eggs Benedict, as poached eggs are very regularly poorly cooked and executed in a dish. These poached eggs were masterfully done, to the point where we came back the next morning and I actually ordered the same dish again. This is uncharacteristic for me and speaks volumes to the quality of the chef and the subordinate staff. If you are in need of high quality breakfast in a peaceful atmosphere this is the place. I do recommend that you set aside time to properly enjoy your meal. This is not your local mom and pop diner, this is where you go when you want high end, enjoyable breakfast and staff that reflects that.

All the portions were quite large and satisfied our appetites after hiking for hours the previous day. Everything tasted to perfection. Fresh orange juice, friendly staff, and quick service. 10/10 recommend.

Decor was tasteful but not overdone. An absolute highlight of an experience that makes other good restaurants look bad by comparison — and our server Blake gets high marks too. We were seated away from people with a reasonably sized party and had plenty of attention without feeling burdened by it. Everything from the menu to the flatware felt fun and creative and “on brand” with a cohesive “conversation” theme that takes after the restaurant’s namesake. It’s not cheap, all things considered; you’ll pay $100 a person if you consider tip and 3 courses, as may be suggested by the menu itself but you could walk in and out for $60 100 if you really played it close to the vest and 2 people got simple entrees, and a few additions. Creative, comfortable, quality, would go back in a heartbeat! 10/10

I had a cocktail I didn’t like, but they promptly replaced it. The cauliflower appetizer was delicious, but definitely a bit small. Truffle fries didn’t disappoint, though instead of mayo, it would’ve been nice to have a lemon or red pepper aioli. The burrata was delicious with the root veggies and squash. For entrees, the pork collar was amazingly flavorful and the chimichurri and whatever the other sauce made the dish incredibly delicious. The mushroom pasta was a little gummy, but the flavor was perfect. It was like mac cheese though, so we were happy to share it. The burger was enormous, but a little overdone for a medium, but the bacon was delicious. The dessert was delicious. We got the chocolate crème brûlée and it had notes of orange and caramel. It was spectacular. Service was perfect. I did find it odd that they charge the 20% service charge, but they don’t give most of that to the server (it’s printed on the bill). That price should just be reflected in the food price instead of taking it out of server tips. They should fix that.

Wait staff was a bit aggressive as if he needed to turn tables at an accelerated rate. read more Wait staff was a bit aggressive as if he needed to turn tables at an accelerated rate.

The food was delicious, I wish the portions were a little bigger (salmon entree), but everything was great, my dad and I will return!

She started with a celebratory glass of bubbles and was very attentive throughout our meal. The food was delicious--salmon was presented well and cooked to perfection; the rigatoni was a sizable portion and delicious! Recommend spot for a delicious evening with a great location and service!

Food was plated very nicely however was a bit bland and the only thing that was an appropriately hot temperature, were the breakfast potatoes. Maybe it was just an off morning for the restaurant. I’d be willing to try it again.
