Food was just okay. There wasn't that much flavor in the food. Like it was missing salt, and acidity. There was a couple sitting right next to us who were also disappointed. They said they would go get a burger afterwards. I'd say the service was good. Very attentive waiter. We actually liked our dessert. They only had one option since it was Valentine's Day but it was still good. A chocolate mousse with a champaign gel on the side. Interesting.

Delicious - Gary and staff were excellent. I’m not a big scallops fan, and the scallop with the butter sauce was one of my favorite parts of the meal. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Came for restaurant week and fell flat. Server was all over the place and not attentive at all, and definitely ruined our experience. Sea bass for restaurant week was best of the night.

This place is a vibe. Dark, quiet, quaint, sexy & sultry. The food is delicious, but the portions are small. The service is great, everyone is friendly. Great bar, especially if you love Macallan.

The food was fantastic! Every dish had the perfect combination of salt, crunch, sweet, smooth and sour. The sea bass cut like butter, the espresso scotch martini was great and the chestnut veloute with prosciutto sneaky knocked my socks off. I was pleasantly surprised by the wine pairings, tasting crystal clear. The staff were lovely, helpful and attentive!
