"Since this is just an update I won't bore you with anything other than the highlights. Service: better this time. We were in no way rushed through our meal and enjoyed ourselves for a little over two hours. She was helpful with suggestions and efficient with removing plates from the table. Complimentary white bean hummus with balsamic vinegar and red peppers: Very flavorful as per usual. We were offered seconds but declined to not fill up on bread. Spiced gala apple spread with mascarpone goat cheese honey and crostini there were only five small pices and six of us so portion size needs to be considered if you have more than five people. The crostini was WAY too hard and hurt my teeth chewing it. The spiced cinnamon apples were amazingly flavorful and nicely complemented the drizzled honey. The goat cheese was tasty and added a unique profile to enhance the sweet apples. Smoked Gouda(sage wheat encrusted smoked Gouda , sautéed spinach, sun dried tomatoes, pesto , balsamic reduction) one of my favorite appetizers ever! Smoky with a hint of nuts and slightly sweet from the sun dried tomatoes. Excellent as always. If you only get one appetizer here get this! Complimentary salad no dressing choice this time. Beets and pickled onions were nice additions. Crab cakes with zucchini risotto and housemade remoulade very meaty, little to no filler. Large portion. Zucchini risotto was creamy and prepared perfectly. Roasted Duck breast with cranberry orange reduction and aged broccoli cheddar hash the duck was so tender! The skin was perfectly crisp! Portion was very large for both the duck and the hash. The cranberry orange reduction was quite unique when paired with the duck and offered a nice, sweet counterbalance for dipping. The broccoli cheddar hash was just homefries with cheddar and steamed broccoli. I'd suggest a different side dish be paired with this as it was just too simplistic with the more evolved flavors from the duck and reduction. It was seasoned well but just seemed out of place. Frenched 16 oz. pork chop with roasted spice pear reduction and smoky blue cheese mashed potatoes the pork chop was thick yet very tender. The pear reduction was a unique twist on the typical apple/chop combination. The blue cheese mash were tasty but on the runny side. My review stands at 4 stars since I have had the chance to explore more in the US since my last review. While not getting everything perfect, they get enough right to make this an always solid choice for an evening out."

"let me begin by telling myself, colleagues and friends have visited this place some paints and had pleasant experiences, but today was something different. after leaving urban wax I stopped drinking drinks and eating a bite at 7:15. I was the one to come in my party of 2 and ordered a drink while I waited for my guest to come. my server, brought the drink and asked me for a card to open a register card. I asked them when the facility began to demand cards forward because I visited the place and had never been asked to deliver a card before I close my tab. server said that this was the policy of the firma, which has now been severely enforced because people jump out on their bills so I gave my card. my gass came to me at 8 o'clock. when the night went on, I saw intentionally on our server and other server waiting for other customers and not a single time to provide their card in advance. So, I mentioned it my gas and he stopped another server, and asked them what the company was on request of cards before billing, and she said there is no directive that we have to do, it is the server so we thanked her and she went away. She stopped and spoke to whom I believe that the shift manager and our server was, then shortly after she came back to our table and explained that it is our policy, I didn't know that and went away. she had just given another table of patrons her drinks and took her food order, but still did not ask her to deliver a card, even after the affirmation that this is in fact her company policy. if this had been a consistent question of all patrons, or even consistently done with our servers other tables, there would be no problem, but that is not the case. I myself and my hospitable were the only black males I noticed in the outside space, the entire 2.5 hours we were there and the only ones that are asked to put a card in front. as a result, this was an insult and made me feel like I was racist profiled, unjustly targeted and/or a sacrifice of implicit prejudice. whatever is the case, I ask them to educate their employees in these asking to provide a fair and consistent environment for all patrons."
