Everything about our experience was top notch. My wife had the lobster tail cocktail which was outstanding. It was very tender and the taste was excellent. The foie gras was also excellent. My wife had the 10 oz filet which was excellent. I had the NY Strip Cap which was also very good. Sides were supremely prepared.

Enjoyed the food very much. The walnut-based app which I can't remember the name was delicious. My fav choice. The cauliflower and chicken skewer were also very good. I had a blood orange paloma - yum! Service was also good and I enjoyed being able to look out the window at the passing scene.
