What an incredible experience we are so happy to have finally found. Upon entry we were pleased, we were greeted promptly and kindly. The aromas through the restaurant were amazing, the lighting, music and ambiance delightful. Our server greeted us within moments leaving us to look over a cocktail and martini menu (what a nice touch) as he returned with sparkling water and Chef features. Wow a 3 oz Martini - a real pour. There was also a full non-alcoholic cocktail menu (a nice alternative: martinis, mock-tails, wine,beer) All fresh berries and real juices for cocktails and garnishes - how refreshing. Now to the menu - all fantastic choices, we decided to share six appetizers between the four of us to try a taste of everything - amazing. Then onto our dinner selections, again we decided to each order a different dish as to try a tasting of everything once again - Sea Bass, Ahi Tuna, Hudson Valley Duck Duo (trio) and Bison Rib Eye. What Outstanding flavours and presentation - fresh vegetable selections, confit potato and risotto .... In addition I must mention the superb wine list - you will have no problem pairing wine with dinner the best selection in the city. After dinner we finished with a house-made tiramisu and creme brulee - Chef Lewis is a genius - we looked over the scotch and grappa menu had an espresso, the ladies a dessert martini and specialty coffee. Our service was personal and professional - like no other we have had - job well done. To conclude we met the Executive Chef and his Wife ..... a truly amazing evening. We will return again and again. Thank you 1010 for such a memorable experience.

The first two courses were incredible, but we found the wait staff ran hot and cold. Sometimes helpful, sometimes a bit snooty. The desserts were mostly very good, but a couple were a letdown - more because the menu did a poor job of explaining what they were; the waiter just said "if you love chocolate, you'll love this". But not everyone likes lava cakes, which is what it was. Why couldn't they have put that on the menu? Or at least why couldn't the waiter have said that?? Everything else was fine, but I don't think I'd rush back after that experience.
