Went here on a date night whim since we were passing through the area around 8pm on a Friday. Easily got seats for two, service was attentive and very quick. Our appetizers were taken away and quickly replaced with soup and so on. The Lobster bisque was *UNREAL* so good. I don't even like soup, definitely add a cup to your meal. Everything we ate was packed with flavor and we had an incredible night! Very pricey and in a very strange/unassuming spot under an office building, but I felt it was worth it!

I like to try high end restaurants when traveling. I usually stick with steaks, but thought I’d try seafood as Halibut is in season and should be “relatively” local and fresh. I had high expectations…. Perhaps that’s where I failed. I should know better, working some nice restaurants 30 years ago, today, too many places try too hard, and forget basic things. Flavor should come first. I started with a lobster bisque. Sadly, this was the strangest lobster bisque I’ve ever had. It tasted of pure chitin, nothing but shell, gritty and well.. disgusting. It looked and tasted of mud with texture to match. Next course was the Halibut. Pan seared, and served on top of a risotto with asparagus. There was a sauce I wont attempt to describe, it looked of sea foam. Nothing stood out about the sauce I could pinpoint any central flavor or seasoning… just bland. The risotto tasted as it should, but lacking seasoning. The halibut was perhaps a little overcooked, but fresh and properly seasoned. I’d suggest if you come here, try the steaks. They may be marvelous, I don’t know. Avoid the bisque at all costs.

We came in for the first time for dinner on our anniversary the other night. We didn't have a reservation but the host said luckily she still had a table for us. I decided to try the lemonade with fresh berries for my drink. I'm not sure exactly what was in it, but it definitely didn't taste like lemonade. The prices are pretty high and we decided to split the ribeye. Our waiter was kind enough to bring the entree on two separate plates and still present each plate beautifully as its own. We also shared the savory fig cheesecake as our appetizer. Everything tasted excellent and was more than enough food for us!
