Kelli Wheeles3 months agoWe stopped in before a show. The hostess was amazing!! Service was ok. For some reason the server didn’t leave water in our table, which every other table had. We ordered the ricotta and the calamari. Both were very good. The atmosphere was less than pleasant. We had a table behind us that thought every single person in the restaurant wanted to hear every word of their conversation. Clean restaurants. Great views of the city.
Sarah Drewinga year agoWe booked reservations for pre show dining. Dining 5:45 pm show 7:30pm. It was delightful. Excellent, unique options. The service was helpful and friendly. We also chose valet for the show, which ended up literally right outside the restaurant. Could not have been more convenient. It was a lovely night. The restaurant had plenty of staff, it was clean and time efficient. We had plenty of time to eat and relax and then find our show seats!
Dirk Christensen5 months agoA gourmet venue with a view, designed for dinner prior to Kaufman Center events. We enjoyed chestnut top salmon on cabbage confit. Not particularly generous (I guess that WAS the side : ) but a delicious sauce. We also enjoyed a chocolate mousse/poached pear dessert - with a sesame brittle chunk that I would buy by the box if offered!
Fran Keal8 years agoWhat an amazing experience! My party of four enjoyed drinks and an early dinner before a symphony performance. The service could not have been better and the atmosphere was classy yet cozy. The view out the Kauffman windows was spectacular as always. We enjoyed a three-course dinner and enjoyed every mouthful. The servers did not hover but were always available for anything we needed. Menu is interesting and well prepared. I will definitely be back again.
Brad Elpers3 years agoOkay food. Convenient location. Steak frites and Parmesan French fries both tasted microwaved. The caprese salad was burrata with tomato and peach. Excellent. Service was great. The bartender was slammed yet kind to everyone and patient. Price was $80 for three glasses of red, a lot of fries, steak frites and a caprese salad.
