Beautiful restaurant and delicious food!! Everything was very fresh and super flavorful. Make sure you ask for a table in the back of the restaurant on their patio, they have a gorgeous fountain and outdoor seating in the back! (We didn’t realize this until we were leaving). We will be returning to have our rehearsal dinner here in the fall!

Can’t say enough good things about this place! Been for dinner many times and have always had a great experience. Booked them for a party to celebrate my daughter’s communion and once again they didn’t disappoint. The food was delicious, the atmosphere and set up was classy and beautiful, and the staff was amazing! Adrienne the manager was beyond awesome, and the waiter Sebastian was great in every way. Me being pleased is one thing, but more importantly my guest were impressed and enjoyed themselves. Thanks so much!!!

Very cute place, a little on a fancier side. Food is delicious, good selection of wine and other cocktails, great service. Perfect for a birthday dinner, date or a special occasion. I haven’t noticed any children, granted we stopped by for dinner around 8.

I had dinner here last weekend. It was my first time visiting. The food was excellent and the members of the staff were all very pleasant. The parking lot is small, so we had to valet. I expect to visit again very soon.

It appears you can’t post on their website so I’m posting on google. My husband and I eat out 5 times a week now that we are empty nesters and this restaurant is one we can’t recommend nor will return to. The experience was poor from start to finish. The restaurant is small and we sat at a table for two crowded up next to another table for two. We dined there on Saturday night 8/12/23. We ordered drinks and what I first noticed is that drinks came in a highball glass with a gigantic ice in the middle that took up 2/3 of the glass. I ordered a sour drink special and that was a sour mess and I could not taste the liquor. My husband had a johnny walker black which he drinks regularly and it was not what he’s accustomed to rather a very watered down version of JWB. So we switched to wine after that. He had a tuna tartar app which was ok and for entree he had the seafood risotto which was just ok because the seafood was over cooked and chewy. I ordered their special app which was zucchini flower and I’ve frequently ordered this at fine restaurants and what I was served was 2 fried mozzarella lumps with red sauce on side and not the delicate zucchini flower that is usually visible and filled with very fine ricotta that I’m used to. My entree was the strip steak with scalloped potatoes and haricot verts. The steak was cooked properly medium well with no flavor and was tough and the potatoes tasted like they were store bought with so much sodium that it was all I could taste instead of the creamy, slightly seasoned homemade version I make at home. So we had 3 drinks and the bill was $200 .. the lack of quality was so incredibly disappointing that we will not be back nor can we recommend this place to folks who know what quality food tastes like.
