    Dinner was incredible before the baseball game, The service was excellent and the food came out almost too fast but I will always take fast over slow. The beer was cold and both the pretzel sticks and the southwest chicken sandwiches were fantastic. We will certainly return many times the year before the baseball games.

    The ambiance of the Penthouse was a wonderful throwback to elegant quietness. The student waitstaff could not be more enthusiastic and willing to cater to our every need. The French cuisine was beautifully prepared. My wife enjoyed the charcuterie. My salmon Rillette was beautifully presented (if, a little tasteless. My only minor complaint). Wife had the Coq au Vin. It was excellent. I had the poached fish. The Beurre Blanc was sublime! Despite our concern that we didn't have enough room for dessert, my wife wasted no time gobbling up her Creme Brulee and I wasted no time digging into my pumpkin cheesecake. A wonderful experience that we will do again.
