This restaurant offers amazing food, with dishes like Rasberry Point oysters and wood-grilled bone-in rib eye receiving high praise. Despite a slightly high price point, the attentive service and delicious meals make it a top choice for diners. The ambiance, however, is often marred by loud and inconsiderate patrons, leading to a less than ideal dining atmosphere. The staff's lack of intervention and the noise levels in the back room could detract from the overall experience. In spite of these issues, the extensive drink options, tasty menu choices, and exceptional service make a return visit likely for many customers.

Awesome food here. However our evening was ruined by thoughtless patrons nearby a large party of who were so overwhelmingly loud ! The staff did not do anything about this . The noise in the “back room” where the tables are is bad!! Manager owner said they have done some sound attenuation but they need to do more . Otherwise the space is not really conducive to the kind of ambience they are trying to create

Perhaps, one of the best dinners my wife and I have ever had. And we’re not young, so we’ve had a lot of meals out. In addition to the wonderful Rasberry Point oysters, perfectly prepared, we also started with grilled Caesar salad, also fabulous. We both shared the bone in rib eye, wood grilled and full of unbelievable flavors. The service was very attentive and friendly. It is not cheap....but we’ll go back again and again

What a pleasant culinary surprise. Small place, attentive service, feels a bit like a Paris–Tel Aviv European blend with friendly American service. So, the best of all worlds. It’s like going on vacation. Wine list is well curated, the foodprepared literally in front of you (if you sit at the bar). A good choice for lunch, dinner or simply a drink.
