Many patrons praise the creative, high-quality menu, particularly highlighting the steak, seafood dishes like the octopus and oysters, and the impressive cocktail program.

Un cher ami nommé Paul Allen m'a suggéré d'aller dîner. J'espère trouver une table pour deux.

Beautiful restaurant & delicious food, but sadly we were disappointed by the service. We came to celebrate a birthday & notified the staff, as we had seen people receiving dessert with a lit candle. We ended up receiving our dessert without a candle, because they had supposedly "ran out" of them. About 10 minutes later, the big table right next to us received their dessert with a candle. Kind of weird that they would "find" candles for some clients but not for others. Although this might seem like an insignificant detail, it really affected our experience as we had booked specifically to celebrate a birthday. Also had to ask to be served bread, which appeared to be served automatically to other tables. Not really the kind of experience you expect from a high-end restaurant.

The place has an old school decor. Chairs weren't really comfortable there isn't a back support. I know too much details! When we arrived we took our coat. I used valet cause it's always a nightmare to park in this area & it cost the same as a parking! We were a group for my friends' birthday it took a moment for them to figure out our tables for us to be together. Once we ordered our drinks it took a moment for the waiter to take our order. The waiter that we had was a bit socially awkward & not very attentive. But the rest of the staff were amazing. I ordered the beet salad it was good & I had to ask for bread. My friend ordered a burrata & I found it weird it wasn't served with bread. They offered the bread with a homemade butter with seaweed. It tasted weird but they also offered olive oil. I took a plate of pasta Agnolotti it was good! I took a mocktail margarita it was ok & overall it was well priced. We felt the plate was a bit small for our appetite.

The Cesar salad tasted like water & the cocktails were also flavorless. The duck was cooked beautifully but was under seasoned. The highlight was the mushroom sunchoke medley that came with it however paired together made for a very one note Asian 5 spice flavor. The service was good & the restaurant is beautiful just not really worth the price.

Honestly the place was really nice in terms of design & layout. The vibe was relax & classy. The service was good. We had to wait for a few drinks but that's ok. The food was all at a good temperature but so bland. The drinks were also pretty lackluster. The Cesar salad needs a redesign. Over sauced with a bland sauce, no crunch or anything to add texture. The duck was fine but again needed seasoning. At the price tag for that duck, I've had better in China town for $40. The price to food flavor experience just inst there. I hope this is helpful criticism to help this place improve & be successful.

Wasn't impressed with the quality. The scallops were ok, the filet was the same quality you could find at casa grecque. Lacked seasoning, & felt like it was prepared by an amateur cook
