From the beginning, our server was dismissive and made us feel belittled. When we sat down and tried to order drinks and appetizers, he told us we were “not going to do that” and that we had to wait until we knew everything we wanted before placing any part of the order. The tone felt unnecessarily controlling and unprofessional.
When our appetizers did arrive, they were brought out one at a time — even though each person ordered their own. We ended up sitting there watching each other eat instead of enjoying the course together. For a restaurant at this price point, timing and pacing should be much more thoughtful.
Throughout the meal, water was never refilled, and we had difficulty getting our server’s attention. When we finished and asked for the check, we were told, “No, we’re going to clear your table and I’ll give you that in a bit.” Again, the tone felt dismissive rather than accommodating. Given this experience we will not be going back!
For a $350+ dinner, we expected service that matched the quality of the food. Sadly, the experience left us feeling uncomfortable and undervalued. I truly hope management addresses the service standards, because the kitchen is clearly doing excellent work.
I ordered the Avocado Wedge Salad, Scallops with Risotto, and Panna Cotta and everything was excellent.
6/5 would recommend.
For food, we shared the chefs 5 charcuterie platter and could not have been happier. The selection of cheeses were diverse yet complementary and the pickled carrots were divine. The salami had a good punch of spice and the presentation was beautiful.
For our limited experience there, everything was perfect. We are looking forward to going for a full meal soon and could not have asked for a better evening. Thank you!
Appetizers of the caviar, burrata, and beef tartare were nothing short of what I had dreamt they would be. I am a big fan of beef tartare and the best part about this one was that it was filet mignon blend! The flavor and delicacy in that had me smiling from ear to ear! The caviar was decadent as well, one of my first few times having caviar and I think it may be time for me to start ordering my own at home for some at-home indulgence. The caviar was served beside an avocado creme fraiche mousse and you are advised to lay those both atop an in-house made truffle chip. Wow, just wow. Very few times I’ve experienced a flavor bomb like that. The layers of taste and flavor profiles of each selected ingredient was like an award I had been awaiting all of these years. The entrees of the ultimate bacon cheeseburger and the Nashville chicken actually came in a close second out of our first place appetizers. The chicken is served as a giant breast and was tenderized to perfection, this is something I usually don’t order so it was nice to have this moment that I decided to do it, it was magical.
As I said earlier, we 100% returned and selected a few other items from the menu including sixtysouth salmon and the angus beef petite tender. Naturally, the beef was one of the most tender things I’ve ever endured. This time around they just so happened to be out of oysters (sigh) and actually had a fairly new spring menu that included meatballs served with foie gras, they were unfortunately out of this item as well (double sigh). That’s okay though, with the satisfaction that we had with everything else, we let it slide this time ;).
Service was wonderful and attentive, as always. We were seated right away both times (even the first time when we were 45 mins early!) so brownie points added to them. The inside of the restaurant is maximized on all floor area, with a structured layout that utilizes all space that this quality establishment sprawls through. They also provide and open kitchen concept that creates a more inviting atmosphere and amplifies the dining experience. Really want to want the chefs work their magic? Well go ahead and take a seat and the bar that lines the length of the kitchen. Dim lighting and a solid music choice truly make this place the full package.
*one thing to note, which I have found out the hard way from people before me, the toilets in the bathroom have a little electronic flusher on the left side that you hold down, so fear not, you are okay. please be courteous to other and flush* LOL.
