"I recently orchestrated a surprise lavish anniversary dinner and birthday bar get-together for my husband here. We'd never eaten here prior, yet I walked past and wondered about this place for three years when I worked in the area. Now I regret not visiting sooner! I made advanced reservations and they accommodated my special requests to the T. My husband absolutely LOVED his steak meal, and I was super impressed with the gnocchi (ordered as an entrée). Service from the moment we walked in was impeccable, as well as during our meal and subsequently at the bar. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect before coming here; I had a specific scenario in my mind, and surprisingly things turned out better than I'd imagined! Though it's situated next to one of the worst parks, if not *the* worst park, in Downtown, it's such a beautiful space (and hotel) with delightful customer service and deliciously seasonal servings. It's the closest you'll get to a metropolitan fine dining experience outside of the Bay Area, complete with bums and liquor store on the corner. Totally worth it, though. I'd seriously come here more often if I could only afford it! ? I would 110% recommend this place if you're a boujee foodie and/or celebrating something special and want to feel grown and swank af for the afternoon or evening."
