"TLDR: Ambiance 5 stars Service 5 stars Food 4 stars (scallops and tortellini 5 stars!!! Lamb lollipop 1 star) The interior space is very spacious and elegant with a lot of fine detailing in the walls, the chandeliers, and even the bathroom. The service is also excellent--we were greeted promptly at the door without a reservation and seated in an area to our liking. Throughout our dinner, the chef and the waitress would regularly check in on us to make sure that our dining experience was going to our liking. As for the food, our favorite dish by far were the scallops. They were so soft and had, an amazing texture that I've never had in a scallop before, and they were so flavorful. I was very sad when we finished the third and last scallop. our second favorite dish of the evening was the duck confit tortellini. The flavors and the textures of this dish were excellent, and the touches of sweet and sour notes of the cranberries and orange zest blended really well with the fall homeyness of the butternut squash and pumpkin seeds. Both of these dishes were very reasonably priced at under $10 each. Unfortunately, the other three dishes that we ordered that evening were not as impressive. The fall flat bread was tasty, but nothing to write home about and in my opinion, not worth the $16 price tag. The Deconstructed stuffed Portabella was very interesting on the menu, but unfortunately didn't taste very good when we got it because it was quite dry and flavorless. Lastly, the lamb lollipops were my least favorite dish because the crust on the outside was extremely bitter and the meat of the lamb itself tasted and smelled like it had gone bad, to the point where I could not finish my lamb lollipop. However, I give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt that it might have just been my lamb lollipop that was defective because my friends portion was satisfactory to her. Overall, this restaurant has, a really fine extravagant interior with a great service staff. They have a couple dishes that are spectacular and worth revisiting the restaurant, but they also have a few dishes that just missed the mark that evening."
