    A cozy atmosphere with great service and food. We even got complimentary cookies (still warm from the oven) because our server overheard that it was my birthday :) Ordering ‘Einstein’s creation’ was also a lot of fun since you don’t know what the chef will be making for you and it’s always amazing and memorable! We will be coming back here again!

    Took my wife out for a dinner date here because we were intrigued by the experiment dinner. Kudos to the chef and serving staff! We each ordered a couple appetizers and the experiment dinner and were told they could make any modifications for allergies, preference to spice level, etc. we didn't make any modifications and we're each provided the most delicious melt in your mouth fillet mignon, mashed potatoes, perfectly cooked veggies. The experiment drink was also delicious, as I mentioned I'm partial to amaretto and accommodated. Will definitely be back again!
