I ordered a pork chop and it was extremely small. The price was not small I was starving after dinner. I complained. The manager told me they like to give small portions so no food is wasted. This is my second bad experience at this place and I will not return

This was one of the best meals I’ve had in years. The Short Ribs were incredible, as were the sprouts and mashed potatoes that came with it. Great cocktails, staff, and atmosphere too. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

My Daughter took me there Wednesday night for dinner. I wasn't expecting what I/we got. First Class Service, 5 Star presentation and cuisine (I had roasted chicken breast and my Daughter had Seared Tuna, which was prepared and cooked perfectly). Dinner for 2, (we split carpaccio), two glasses of house wine and no desert) was about $100. I whole-heartedly recommend tis place, even for the most particular, i.e. "picky" person, like me. The image here is of the Tuna that my Daughter had for entre

This was a pleasant place, with an interesting menu and we were happy to be there. It looked like they had some regular customers and who were very comfortable eating there. But two out of the three of us thought the food was just so so. The truffle mac and cheese was a big disappointment. The sliders and the salads were good. I really didn't care much for the tuna tartare, although I really like tuna and grilled tuna extremely rare. The tuna was covered in some kind of a sauce but I didn't much care for. Part of the problem was the servers. There was a language issue and so the questions we had about them and you weren't really answered either fully or accurately. For example I tried to find out about the cauliflower cuz I wanted a vegetable but I didn't want it deep-fried or coated in wheat. The server told me it wasn't fried and then he didn't really have the word for it so I suggested sauteed and he nodded his head. But it wasn't whole pieces of cauliflower at all it was cauliflower patties, like a little hamburger but made of cauliflower and there was no telling what was inside that patty holding it together. Someone who is gluten intolerant or just didn't want to consume weed was just taking the chances. Sometimes after leaving a restaurant I get a reaction where I get very stuffed up. It happened shortly after eating the restaurant food. I don't know specifically what causes it but my guess is some kind of additive that they are using. I had that reaction after eating at this restaurant. Give it a try and if you're sensitive to Foods ask the server to bring someone over who can explain the dishes to you.
