Review


Easily among our best dining experiences of all time. From start to finish an experience, and I immediately felt very safe. Our server was fantastic and knew down to the details of how each menu item was prepared. They are willing to make nearly everything on the menu gluten free or create for you a unique alternative (minus obvious things like the beef wellington, of course).

Sounds pretty crazy, but honestly one of the highlights of our night was the cheesy popovers served before our first course.. they are gluten free by default. Amazing.. we both can’t even tolerate dairy well, yet we accepted extras from our server later on. We still talk about them.

My significant other and I shared the lamb lollipops to start. I then followed with their house salad, also so amazing I didn’t even snap a picture. (She followed with the lobster bisque, not gf). I also had their Manhattan with Blanton’s.. that $&!% was good.

With our entrees we also shared a side of roasted brocollini. I had the dry aged New York steak, and she had the bourbon pork chops, also prepared gf. Not sure if they could’ve done things like Demi-glace gf on request as well, but I didn’t have any extras on my steak. Both dishes met our expectations.

Finally, to finish, and in need of a little sobering up, our sever recommend to us the flourless chocolate hazelnut lava cake, with an espresso each. We went hard on the lactaid pills that night.. worth it.

Again, amazing experience and kudos to the staff there that kept me from getting sick and without sacrificing a fantastic meal. All in all we were there for about 2 1/2 hours, and was money well spent.
