Eric EmanuelsonFebruary 9, 2018Came for restaurant week, so I haven’t tried the normal menu, but everything was incredible. Dress up and get ready for a very, very nice dining experience
Sarah WSeptember 3, 2012Make sure to let them know if you are celebrating a special occasion. They will take wonderful care of you regardless, but there are some extra touches that make the evening even more special.
Jeremy S.March 22, 2015Very historic building, many different dining rooms-each with unique character. Incredible food. Great for special occasions.
- Jade RyanMay 12, 2012Asparagus soup with goat cheese toasts and the foie gras on carrot cake are both a must! Also, the carrot cake dessert comes with a side of cream cheese frosting ice cream. Yum!

Ali Al-DehaishOctober 27, 2014The steak was good, The restaurant is fancy and is good for family or a date.
Stephen RedwoodNovember 25, 2013Delicious and interesting food combinations. Service rather brusque and lacking in attention to details.
John GonzalesFebruary 11, 2013A meal without wine is surprisingly reasonable given the ambiance and level of service.
Erica WertheimMay 16, 2011phenomenal food! loved the carpaccio and the strawberries and cream for dessert
Michael McNamaraJuly 30, 2013Food was not to the same par as service and price. I've had way better for less, and enjoyed it without the suggestion of a jacket and stuffy service.
