Tony Muniz
I sent to this amazing restaurant, and was not disappointed. The menu has something for everyone and every taste. The pricing was reasonable given the absolutely gorgeously executed dishes. It was a first date, and our server was extremely knowledgeable, and the cocktails had kick. If I could give this place 6 stars I would.

Enjoy my dinner with family at this local restaurant. The new Chef John Walsh has elevated the quality of the food. Incredible dishes that would only be found in NYC. Looking forward to going back and trying one more of his creations!!

We absolutely love this place and it’s one of our favorite restaurants in Harrisburg. They have a very nice wine list, appetizers and entrées were amazing and the dessert was to die for. We started with a sushi roll and my wife I had the tuna and I had the filet which is always outstanding. We usually don’t get dessert but our waitress talked us into the bread pudding and it was out of this world! Service and food are always top-notch here. We will definitely be back.

Great drinks and incredible food. If you like a spirit forward cocktail, I’m a big fan of their Tattooed Gentleman, Bourbon Smash, and Black Manhatten. They also make a good Vesper. For food, I haven’t gone wrong with anything based on short ribs and their brussel sprouts are nice and crispy.

This place lived up to its reputation!! The food was delicious, the customer service was on point, and the ambiance had such a cool swanky vibe! All dishes were seasoned and presented excellently! Only critique would be the apple crumble, the preparation and imagination of this dessert didn’t really match the quality of the other dishes. This place is still a hot recommend for a date night or a more intimate outing with friends who don’t mind spending a bit more for quality food. The happy hour drink prices are very nice as well…so this could be a good pregame spot for a night on the town. Will definitely be back!

I got the margarita pizza and a strawberry/mango smoothie! It was beyond yummy. I loved the house-made crust and mozzarella! Will definitely be coming back.

Great service. The server entranced the table. She was wonderful. Food was on point across all meals. The only drawback was I order the wine.

Judy Lang
Loved this restaurant. They had good food – great little private cubbies that allow you to be able to work. Never asked us to leave when we overstayed the welcome as we were waiting on a hotel. Bathrooms had hand dryers attached to the faucet which was really cool. The bamboo layout was amazing. I would definitely recommend!
