The Space - The restaurant is situated in the National City Bank Banking Room with Corinthian columns and gorgeous ceiling - the room and ambiance are nothing short of AMAZING - clearly a room that will impress.
The Food - The food was "Above Average" but not exceptional. The caesar salad and oysters were wonderful. The strip steak was cooked perfectly and the lamb came out to the table as medium rare but kept cooking to medium well. Good flavors and the side of Kind Crab Wild Rice as very good. They had trouble with the cappuccino machine so I took coffee - which unfortunately had been sitting awhile, so it tasted burnt. I am sure the food will catch up to ambiance but the inconstant quality and delivery of the kitchen is characteristic of a start up restaurant.
The Service - The front desk/ Maitre D stand was serviced by two young ladies who were reserved and seem to be unsure of themselves. They were not overly friendly or welcoming, but pleasant. Our server Joey was genuine and willing and eager to please. He checked in with us and was welcoming. In fairness to Joey, we did mention to him the issue with coffee as it was minor to the evening.
Conclusions - I have to believe with what has been invested in the space, there is a commitment to get the food to the exceptional rating. I would go back and expect to see improvement as the kitchen and team find their rhythm.
