Me and my husband decided to give this restaurant a try and go for their Chef’s Table experience for our Anniversary. We left hungry, uninspired, and a bit bored by the “experience”. Based on the other dishes patrons were enjoying I think the food here is probably pretty good. However, what we were served was uninspired, delivered with little care, small portions and jealous of the people at the table next to us. Dish #1: tuna crudo. Was tasty but look looked like it had been mangled when it was prepared and scooped out of a container onto the plate. The taste was correct but the presentation and lack on anything like a piece of bread or more that a single radish slice to accompany the dish made it feel plain. Dish #2: veggie tagliatelle. By veggie they mean 1/4 cup of lentils. Tasted good but again was very simple, no accompaniment or anything that would make me feel it was selected for a purpose. Dish 3: Branzino. This was a half a regular entree and was completely missing the citrus topping as described on the menu. The single 1/2 fennel heart under it was tasty. Dish 4: espresso pot: this was the saving dish of the night that actually resulted in a couple stars. Overall, to be served fish, veg pasta, and then more fish didn’t give us any type of inspired journey. On top of that the “experience” was the server repeating the ingredients from the me I followed by “it really pairs well with this cocktail” followed by a recording of the cocktail ingredients printed on the sheet of paper on our table. I believe this place has promise by the other dishes we saw but we won’t be back. We actually left and went to another restaurant and split a burger before heading home for a little variety.

Hostess was very sweet. Server (Michael) was stoic and inattentive. Would definitely not go back and this is coming from another server at a upscale dining restaurant. Server came off rude and completely forgot about my drink until I asked for the check (conveniently). Felt like they didn’t care because we had 7 guests so there was gratuity added but the experience was extremely lack luster and we weren’t particularly difficult. Would have felt less upset if the server was a better communicator but since he spoke very little and sent his back server over to recommend us things instead of trying to talk to us, there’s no way to really excuse his attitude. If the man in the patterned button up was a manager he definitely did not care about our experience and so he too added to the poor experience (especially since he ignored us but was smiling and waving to other tables) . Food was okay.

Great food and service! Will define go back! Sat on the patio where it was quiet.

Our server Grace and the manager Christian were warm and hospitable. Everything we ate was fantastic - started with burratta and shrimp toast, finished with the carrot salad, brussels, and the burger. Can’t wait to go back!

Cocktails were delicious, and so was the food. They were out of a couple items, but we pivoted and orders were still great.

Despite lobster rolls not being on the menu, my dinner was delicious! Definitely recommend the Georgia shrimp on the small plate menu

Chefs Table was outstanding.

Sat outside for brunch. Great food and service. Servers were so attentive and nice.

Could not order favorite cocktail as they were out of an ingredient. Server very preoccupied and appeared to be talking to the wall after we were seated. Asked to reuse silverware after appetizers and had to put them down directly on the table instead of being brought fresh silverware for the entree. We were completely finished with appetizers before the waitstaff came back to take our entree orders or ask if anyone would like another drink or wine. Food ok - not great; would not recommend pimento cheese board as basically white bread and a glass jar of pimento cheese. Disappointed.

Beautiful presentation and fresh, delicious ingredients. Great patio with large umbrellas overhead.
