    The food was good. Service was good at first but slow as our dinner progressed. It was very cold inside. The heaters worked on & off. Didn’t warm the area at all. We were inside, not on the patio. We will not return

    It was our first time coming here. Came in on a Wednesday night to avoid the crowd. It was really nice. We were seated by the glass railing and was able to see WCDTWN. Really nice view. Our waiter, I think was either Brandy or Mandy (I didn’t clearly catch the first part of their name). They came to check in on my wife and I at the right times. Wasn’t excessive. Food was delicious. We had a variety of textures and tastes that were very satisfying. Nothing was overly sweet or salty. We ordered: -pork belly (4 pcs): seasoned well, wasn’t drenched in sauce -beef tartare: good -heirloom Tomatoe and burrata cheese: I always look this type of dish. Loved the heirlooms and the balsamic glaze. Same here, was overly dressed. -citrus arugula salad: delicious! I will say though, it was a touch overly dressed for us. I always forget to ask the waiter if the dressing could be on the side or slightly dressed. -truffle fries: perfectly cooked. Wasn’t drenched in oil. Nice and crispy. I would say to try and finish it quickly. The crispiness does go away after while. But still good -spicy mocktail: no complaints -a smokey bourbon drink (can’t remember the name) it was a touch sweeter than I had imagined. But doesn’t matter here since I can’t even remember the actual name of it.

    The food was tasty. Our waiter was kind of not paying attention to us. Seemed like he only cared that we would order as much as possible and afterwards, he didn’t check in with us if we had water in our glasses or if we needed anything. —- the restrooms were awful. Dirty and out of service without any signs. So you would go in and stuck with no water.

    Thank you for your feedback, Pari. We’re glad you enjoyed the food, but we're sorry to hear about the service and restroom experience. Just to clarify, we share restrooms with the neighboring restaurants, which can sometimes cause unexpected issues. That said, we’ll definitely make sure to address this with the team to ensure it doesn’t happen again, and we’ll remind our staff to be more attentive to guests' needs. We appreciate you letting us know, and we hope to do better next time.

    Great place for a hangout with your friends, a little bit noisy, but that’s OK. The food is amazing and service is great. Definitely will come back here.

    Always pleased with the service and food. A bit pricy so we use this restaurant for our special occasions.

    It was a good experience except when it felt like our server has forgotten to check in us. I had to call another staff so we can order a dessert. The food was good, the serving was reasonable.
