Someway somehow this place has absolutely won my heart. I brought my husband here for his birthday the other night and they made him feel so so special. From the moment we walked in the door, the host and the bartenders went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I had set a reservation for 9pm but I also saw it was there closing time so I came in an hour early to avoid any inconveniences with the kitchen and they found us a place at the bar immediately. The atmosphere is so relaxing and it is just beautiful inside and out. The drinks were amazing and I promise you every single one was made with precision and skill. We ordered deviled eggs as our appetizer which were phenomenal. For our two entrees we decided on the Sea bass and the Lamb chops. The sea bass was so juicy, packed with flavor, and so fresh I can say it was one of the best pieces of fish I’ve ever had and it was not even my plate! The lamb chops were cooked to perfection as well and remember the dishes can not be altered, the chefs worked hard to develop these specific pairings and it works well. Now the dessert tasted as if it were prepped in Heaven and this is coming from someone who does not care for sweets. We ordered a sort of sweet pound cake that was topped with caramelized bananas, ice cream, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. Besides the pure talent of the staff I believe everything is so close to perfect because of the chemistry they all share. They motivate each other, keep each other laughing, and they move in sync. Gratuity is included in the bill which is excellent in my opinion but the service is so wonderful you can not help but to tip on top. I would absolutely love to visit again. Thank you for a beautiful experience.
Wow! You have to get the cocktail here! I found this place close to where I was staying. Seated by the bar for dinner and was immediately blown away by the attentive bar service and he knew the menu at the top of his head, amazing cocktail options I was recommended their house gin & tonic and it was just WOW. Ordered Thai seafood curry and their portion was generous, those smokey grilled seafood paired really well with their mildly spicy curry…yum! It was packed on a Sunday night! Highly recommended! Be ready to pay +19% gratuity fee but it’s all worth the experience and justified by their service level.
Poor Calvin’s certainly lived up to their reputation. Fine dining in a modern yet quaint little spot that is still spacious enough that you don’t feel enclosed. Customer service was exceptional with very good details on selections of all items including desserts. The food was excellent, especially the lobster mac and cheese. It should be noted that the food portions were very generous. I highly recommend making a reservation and there is a automatic 19% gratuity added to all bills.
Divine! Met some colleagues here while in town for a trade show and was blown away by both the food and the service. Truly one of the best meals of my life. I can personally vouch for the Manhattan (best I’ve ever tasted), the Thai-inspired cocktail, the vegan fresh rolls, and the vegan curry. The chunks of vegan meat were expertly cooked. Wish this place was closer to home because I’d be a regular for sure.
Absolutely amazing experience. Food was delicious and beautifully plated. Drinks were potent and yummy. I could go on and on about the wonderful staff. We were seated immediately and courteously. Every meal was described in intricate detail, by a super friendly wait staff. Even the greeter made us feel welcome! We can’t wait to come back!
