    10/10 on every level. The space is intimate, classy and beautiful. There was no valet but plenty of street parking. Our waiter was amazing and funny on top of being on top of everything. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the sides were equally delicious. We ordered a bunch of ribeyes and the skirt steak. The skirt steak was surprisingly tasty. So so tender. The macaroni and cheese, mushrooms and mashed potatoes were the perfect pairing with the steaks and it was plenty to share for a family of four.

    We are so happy we spent our 5th anniversary here. The service was perfection, they treated us so special and kept telling us how happy they were that we're here. This alone with the adorable wine library and house style restaurant makes me want to come back every year. Not to mention the food! Everything we tasted was divine! Perfectly cooked steak, well balanced flavors, and beautiful presentation. Would love to come back here for dinner again. The bar also looked fun if you're looking for the more lively atmosphere. The wine library was perfect for an intimate date night. I would choose the outdoor patio by the fireplace for a group dinner. Thank you to our servers and compliments to the chef.

    Came here to celebrate a birthday and we were all so happy to dine here. We were seated outside and it was perfect. The meals and the drinks were amazing! Everything came out perfect. Service was fantastic too. Our server gave us some great recommendations: scallops (my personal favorite), sweet onions, beet and goat cheese ravioli, peach and burata, etc. Since we came on Friday night, the restaurant was packed. Thankfully we had an earlier reservation so it was nice to have a good conversation among us without the noise. I highly recommend this place.

    Great restaurant for everything except the steak. Atmosphere was amazing, appetizers were excellent, and the blueberry soufflé was one of the best desserts I've ever had. For the steaks (I had the wagyu and the wife had the bone in ribeye) they were a bit "gamey," which was surprising. I'd come again but wouldn't order the steak.
