    I took my family to celebrate my anniversary-I'd taken my wife here 19 years ago to propose. It was fantastic then, and it's fantastic now. I remembered the ambience as being muted and romantic-it hasn't changed, notwithstanding my family was dining rather than just my wife and I. The service was impeccable-the wait staff spot on in attending to needs without being overbearing. The food was amazing: The chef's tasting menu of 3 items allows for you to choose from various items, from which my family had different selections. We were able to taste many of the different choices, and without exception they were all delightful and an experience. All of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Many thanks to you all.

    A new chef arrived, and previously memorable entrees for years are modernized to the ordinary, especially the Beef Wellington, the desserts and the appetizers.

    We came here as a honeymoon splurge. We do not regret a penny we spent! We ultimately decided that the Chefs Tasting Menu was worth it and I’m very pleased we did. The food was delicious, the staff was kind and extremely attentive, and they were sweet enough to mention our honeymoon to the chef. (He sent a complimentary chocolate and glass of champagne for us.) Overall, obviously expensive but worth the money!

    Haven’t been to the establishment in a few years but the intimacy and value has changed significantly. Service was average and the price for a three course pre fix was not worth the value.
