• Hanger steak was tender and gorgeously juicy, with lively sides of sweet-potato mash and caramelized onions and leeks, and a pomegranate reduction of carefully modulated sweetness. Veal osso buco came with a terrific, autumnal apple-cranberry compote. – David Corcoran, New York Times
• The food was excellent. I have never had a better steak! My wife enjoyed the fish and we both enjoyed the appetizers and desserts. – OpenTable reviewer who dined on 12/18/2010
