This was one of the best dining experiences of my life. My family and I were blown away by the flawless execution. The food was perfect- great, simple but elevated options done very well. The service was gracious, music was spot on — all in all a great night out. The Oysters Rockefeller deserve a special shoutout. Added bonus is that they have a very generous, delicious and affordable kids menu.

I have been there 3 times. Always service at the table is excellent. Drinks also very good. Food is a disaster. Beef Wellington disaster.!We were advised that the crust was separate( so for us that is not a Beef Wellington… no side dish, so I requested a suchi I rice… not good at all. Also, the kind of people there were very bad dressed, even though, you requested a nice attire. Very low class people with no manners, for such a high end restaurant. So this is the last time I will come… I will stick with Vinus : a very nice place and food is excellent .
