Came for the summer restaurant week. Great experience overall and I could definitely see the difference in service and food presentation present at Michelin restaurants. I would say they deserve their star. My table was sharing food so I was able to at least try most of the offerings. My favorite item was the Chilled Corn Soup. It was so good and unique. Never tasted anything quite like it before. The scallops were incredibly tender, melt in your mouth. The Pork Loin was among the best I have had with the Japanese Sweet Potato Salad being especially good. Both dessert options were also delicious. If I am nit picking, I felt the green beans in the green bean salad were a bit too tough and the bread was just okay but not at the standard of the other items. The crispy skin of the Sockeye Salmon was a bit fishy and the little round balls (roe?) in the scallop dish were very salty. Still, none of these things detracted from the experience at all. Amazing service throughout, and our seat near the open kitchen allowed us to get a behind the scenes glimpse. I had forgotten to take a picture of the menu so I asked for one at the end of the meal, and they did me one better by giving me a paper copy wrapped like a scroll to take home. Very happy to have a physical keepsake of this experience.

Gravitas truly excelled in service recovery, and our recent visit was a completely different experience from the first. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and seated at a fantastic table near the kitchen. A glass of Prosecco was offered as a lovely touch. The service was impeccable, with our server being attentive and considerate throughout the evening. The food was a noticeable improvement over our first visit, and we were able to fully appreciate the flavors this time. The highlight was definitely the truffle tortellini—so delicious, I could have easily eaten an entire bowl! I really appreciate how the Gravitas team made us feel welcome, showcasing exactly why they’ve earned their Michelin star. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! Had to post here because I accidentally submitted the tock review without a review.

Went during restaurant week back in February, and I was pleasantly surprised. Although their halibut fell a little short for my palate, the all other dishes were quite good. Wide selection of wines and the pairings were good. Additionally, the dessert they are known for is delicious. I would go back just for the dessert as it was incredibly unique.

Phenomenal experience - we did the 6 course tasting with the paired wine!!! Our server and sommelier were very knowledgeable and catered towards our taste too! We had a complimentary glass of champagne with our amuse bouche!
