Hands down the best dining experience I've ever had. GL getting a res, but it's worth the effort.

Chef Saine provided an amazing experience! Food was fresh and had interesting stories around it. Seating was intimate and the concept is to provide a very interactive experience between the staff as well as between guests. A pre dinner cocktail or mocktail was provided for guests to get to know one another as well. The scallop with a salsa verde was the star for me! Chef mentioned it was a pretty popular dish so likely to be on the menu.

Ive been sitting on this review for a while. Im definitely not one to tarnish any 5 star ratings!! My experience was mixed. In part by the fact that Ive spent countless moments at midnight trying to get reservations with no luck. When I finally snagged my first res, I was shocked to be sitting next to a guy that had been multiple times (even in the past week). Most of the others also had the good fortune to be frequent patrons. There was one other person who said shed been trying to grab a reservation for a while. TBH, really didnt sit right with me. As we all know, these reviews are opinion based only. I can only give my honest assessment of my experience. The vibe seemed catered to a younger crowd for sure. I definitely felt out of place. The F word was used quite liberally by the staff. No big deal, just kind of off pudding when youre paying so much. Again, I realize this may not be a popular opinion. Unfortunately we also got on the topic of church camp and those types which stung quite a bit since I have a strong faith base. Not really the fault of the staff but she was very much in agreement to the conversation. I am not suggesting that the chef participated in any of these convos because he didnt. Yes, the food and drinks were absolutely delicious. I got the extra cocktail menu where we get a fun drink paired with some of the courses and also participated in the extra course which was way too fishy and slimy for me. All in all, my bill was slightly over $400. Since I just didnt have the best experience, needless to say, it was too expensive for me. My biggest suggestion would be to not go solo.
