Celebrated our anniversary here recently and had a fantastic experience. The setting is art deco brasserie spectacular, our server Jordan led a service team that provided an impeccable dining experience, and the food and libations were absolutely on point throughout. One of those rare places that can juggle casual dining alongside special occasions with aplomb and make it seem effortless.

Food was great! One comment to the owner. Dessert: there was one particular dessert that apparently came with some cookies on the side, the person ordering just wanted the cookies, so she could share with the table; she asked the waitress and her answer was no, you can't just have the cookies. She didn't say, let me ask, we'll see what option we can offer. No alternatives.
