    Exceptional service and food! Not a bad thing to say. Our server made incredible recommendations with our wine and dessert. The steaks were amazing, as was the bone marrow we started with. It’s really saying something when the mushroom and truffle risotto was the least touched dish on the table (incredible, but so was everything else!)
