    I had a 5:15pm reservation on a weekday and arrived early. I was seated at a lovely table set for 1 by the windows on a quiet floor. The staff was so friendly. I enjoyed a cocktail (Smoke Sareen), appetizer (stuffed dates), and entrée (bison short-ribs) and everything was incredible. I am not someone who enjoys dining alone, but Scholar made my solo date night remarkable. Thank you!
