What you can expect, as told by diners and critics before you.
Feedback can be a single diner’s critique on TripAdvisor or Yelp or a coveted ‘best of’ award for our food, service, wine list or romantic ambiance. It can evolve to be a recommendation and as we know, the delicious entreé we serve to you tonight could be on the menu at the gastronomy capital of the world: the James Beard House. We share these accolades and unvarnished reviews as evidence that we aim to for excellence above all else so that your experience inspires you to return and tell your friends. Thank you for being part of our unfolding story.
