"I visited the restaurant for a mid-week dinner. I had made a reservation a few weeks in advance and arrived slightly late due to traffic. Thankfully, they accommodated us, but requested that we finish by a specific time, which was fine as we had enough time. A nice touch was the free parking available in the same building after 4 pm. The restaurant was quite busy, and it took a while before someone noticed us and took our reservation. However, once we were attended to, the service was smooth. The closely spaced tables contributed to noticeable noise levels, but it wasn't unbearable. We started with some small dishes, which arrived quickly. However, our main courses took a bit longer. We ordered six items, but only one stood out for me, and I would consider ordering it again: the calamari. The green salad was good but rather simple, consisting of greens, strawberries, and crumbled cheese with a tasty vinaigrette. It was enjoyable but not quite at the level I expected. The calamari was very good, with the highlight being the yogurt sauce (though it was labeled as labneh, it wasn't as sour as traditional Mediterranean labneh). The warm spices added a nice touch. The pork belly roulette was disappointing and felt like a calorie waste. I had high hopes for the steak tartar, but it turned out to be overly sour, with the sourness overshadowing the gentle sweetness of the yolk. The textures of the meat and the popping mustard seeds were interesting, but the sourness was too much for my taste. My husband ordered the rack of lamb, which tasted very good but was rather small for its $62 price tag, consisting of only two chops and some veggies. The cream puff had a moderate sweetness level, which was appreciated. However, I found the cream both inside and outside to be overly fatty, with just a hint of fruit filling in the middle. I would have preferred a better balance with less cream and more filling. Despite the restaurant's great reviews, I don't plan on returning"

"Came here last night for my surprise birthday dinner, and overall, it was just okay food wise. I definitely liked our server, she was very attentive and prompt. Customer service was exceptional. Our server, along with the entire staff, was very helpfuland friendly. The cheese in the beginning of our course was delicious. The meats were good as well. I was not expecting to cookmy own food, so I was a little disappointed when I got there, but in the end, it wasn’t too bad. I’m just not a big fan ofcooking my own food when I go out to eat. Unfortunately, during this whole experience, my eyes were burning and stinging. I’mnot sure if the air doesn’t circulate correctly, or if the spices that were added burnt my eyes. It was extremely horrible anddefinitely ruined the whole experience for me. My eyes had tears going down constantly. My eyes burned, and by the time we gotto the car, I had a massive headache. My boyfriend asked a random server if their eyes were burning as well, and he said yes.Other servers overheard the conversation and chimed in and one of them said, it was actually a “good night” because it’susually worse than this. This broke my heart for them. It is now the next day, and my eyes still sting. My headache (finally)went away. If I would have known how horrible I would have felt after leaving this restaurant, I would have chosen to stay homeand cook my own food. The only reason I am giving this place 3 stars is solely because of the service. I will never return tothis restaurant."
