"This experience was absolutely amazing! Some of the best service and food I’ve been provided with. The hospitality and atmosphere was incredible. Michael was our server and had he had not mentioned to us it was his first night we wouldn’t have known. He was very knowledgeable and provided outstanding customer service. He as well as every worker around made sure we were taken care of and made our stay rememberable. We will most definitely be back and recommend this restaurant as well as Michael to any and every one."

"We enjoyed our dinner so much!! Chris was an amazing waiter he made the experience memorable for our anniversary . The food was amazing I highly recommend the lamb nachos appetizer. The restaurant is so beautiful and the staff were on point. Ask for Chris he will take very good care of you. Thanks, Matt & Becky"

"Our reservations were for 8pm, the hostess was very nice and let us know that our table was not ready yet and we could get a drink from the bar, which we did. The hostess came and got us a few mins later to walk us to our table. As we sat the waitress immediately had an attitude saying oh I see you have drinks already. We ordered a soup, the lamb nachos and bread. (Pretty pathetic and desperate that they charge for bread) The lamb nachos and soup were very good. My girlfriend was full after this and just wanted dessert and I ordered the veal 3 ways at the suggestion of the waitress. It was seriously a pathetic excuse for a meal. The portion size was made for a child and it was tasteless. This is something l'd expect from a 1 star restaurant. I'm not the type to complain and send food back and I was starving so l ate and we immediately asked for the check. If you actually enjoy good food I would suggest you skip this place. Sad it went completely downhill from the Original location"

"First time after move and it was great. Darker decor is moody and soothing. Even the wait staff dressed in gray and black adds to it. Ask for Kat for great attentive personable service. My wife loved the duck while I loved the veal 3 ways. The Hendricks martini hit the spot. Dakota's surprised me with a birthday dessert--yum! Chocolate with happy birthday in script. Hats off to the chef and staff"

"This is an impressive, beautiful restaurant. Clearly a lot of money was spent in the real property and contents. I suppose an effort is underway to pay for these expenditures by pricing food and drink beyond anything remotely reasonable. The food is ok. Nothing that ameliorates the cost however. This is a beautiful restaurant service is great but the food is nothing special and I fear ultimately they will price themselves out of the market."
