Arrived for the Christmas Eve holiday buffet; oysters and beverages are not part of the package. Do give the oysters a try – they're delightful! The overall buffet fare is decent, featuring fresh ingredients, but it appears pre-cooked and kept warm for some time. The staff, including our waiter, were exceptionally friendly. Keep in mind, the restaurant leans towards the pricey side, with an additional 10% service fee (excluding tips).
Great meal. One of the best gluten free pizzas I have tried. Caesar salad was great too.
Wonderful service. Lovely vibrant atmosphere. Price was as expected (listed as $$$ and that’s right).
So my 4 star review is all about the 10% inflation surcharge. Update the menu and charge the price you need to charge. Don’t add line items.
when the sun is out the atmosphere can’t be beat with their expansive patio and glass doors that bring the outdoors inside. We went on a rainy night so no such luck but still had a good time. The service is top notch, always. The food is solid too, Thor Rib Eye was incredible and perfectly cooked, they need some work on the Caesar salad as the dressing was way too heavy and creamy,. They have a good cocktail program as well and a fantastic wine list. We also had the pizza which was delicious and wow for dessert their crème brûlée flight was superb! This is a big restaurant and on the pricier side, best for when you have a large group and/or a corporate account to splurge on, ha.
While I didn’t take the 10% surcharge for a “healthy living wage” into account for this review, the owners need to build this into their prices and not tack on unnecessary fees to their customers!
Amazing experience...from the second we walked in, Katherine at the host stand was warm and welcoming with amazing recommendations. The ambiance of the restaurant was very unique. Our group of eight enjoyed the creative drinks, apps, salads, entrees (try the pork tenderloin) and share a couple of desserts. Highly recommended!
Maybe my expectations were too high? We had a nice meal, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The atmosphere is very cold & modern which was very much in style 20 years ago when they opened. I might try going again in the summer when it's warm out.
The cocktail list was meh. The menu was lovely but not as much as what I had seen online, which I understood to be a representation, not an actual menu. The temperature of the pork tenderloin was far too cool & I had a hard time believing that the chef intended for it to have the texture of sushi. Will inquire more deeply next time before deferring to the chefs recommendation. We did have an excellent bottle of wine.
I crave a more inviting atmosphere, something more old fashioned. My tastes are outmoded, I suppose.

Wine and pizza. 'low budget',
high delivery.
My pizza has shaved summer squash & zucchini (a vegetable i almost never choose as it goes to mush easily), and basil, topped with finely shaved lemon and crumbled feta.

perhaps my favorite pizza
We had an excellent and memorable dinner here. We tried appetizers, salads, pizza and mains. Every dish had a flavor that was spot on, our expectations were exceeded. The pork dish was the standout for us, and the chicory salad as well. I will visit again.
Excellent atmosphere and delicious food. We got there pretty close to closing time and put the staff in a little pinch for time, but overall the experience was amazing. The salmon we ordered and the pork was pretty raw, and I don’t think they had enough time to cook it all the way. But the drink menu is fantastic and so is the food menu. The atmosphere is very nice and we were there on a beautiful day, so they had all the sliding doors open and it was just lovely.
Phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal. Every bite was delicious, and I love how they update their menu making every experience a new one. The halibut was some of the best I’ve had. The skin was extra crispy and the rest was soft as butter. Plus I couldn’t get enough of the Dungeness crab and shaved brussels side. We also ordered the warm radicchio pear salad along and sampled two of their seasonal cocktails and would do so again. 10/10!
The food was well made. The steak dish was my favorite as it was cooked right and the cauliflower purée was really good. The only downside was the dessert. It was a chocolate tart but the tart shell was too thick and it was cold which made it hard to cut with a fork or a knife. The ambiance is nice as it has wall to wall windows which brings in a lot of nice natural light.
