Our waitress, the bartender, and the front of house staff took excellent care of us throughout our visit. Chef Jamie was warm and engaging, even stopping by to chat with us at the end of our meal. Some reviewers mention that the portion sizes are too small, but I believe that when the food is this outstanding, large portions aren’t necessary. Each dish was perfectly sized to satisfy my taste buds without leaving me feeling overly full or uncomfortable. This, to me, is precisely what a fine dining experience should be.

It was an incredible dining experience from start to finish. Everything was top-notch. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5. read more It was an incredible dining experience from start to finish. Everything was top-notch. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5.

After that, we headed to the restaurant for a cocktail. The service, atmosphere, and drinks were all excellent. We returned the next day because we enjoyed it so much. While the prices were on the higher side, they use high-quality ingredients and even make some of their own simple syrups. Meal type: Other Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

My salad was swimming in the dressing and my entree and vegetables were so salty that I had to send them back. I had ordered the filet medallions. When my entree was brought to me again, it was delicious but the vegetables were still too salty to eat. My friends who had ordered the shark said that their vegetables were also too salty to eat. We told our server and I hope that she passed the information on to the manager.
