    Bri the manager is the most amazing women. Every person that works there are so nice and friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. It comes from the top. It reflects on Bri’s management style. The food is impeccable and they are always changing up. Innovative cocktails I cannot say enough about it. I cannot recommend this establishment more highly.

    Excellent and outstanding food. Definitely top notch cuisine, and even though it is in a very elegant and high end location, the food was delicious and not pretentious. It was creative without being excessive. Although it is a private and quiet seating environment, it did not feel stuffy in part because of the friendly staff and chef who presented the meals. Michelin should evaluate this lovely restaurant and give it a star!
