Pretty disappointed considering what we paid for and how everyone has hyped it up to us. The food was very average for the price, good but not great. The restaurant itself is extremely crowded and we were in arms reach of both tables next to us. We could hear their conversations way too clearly and it really changed the atmosphere, especially for our anniversary. I’m sad because we really wanted to like it and we made reservations months in advance. Don’t think we will be back.

We were finally able to snag a table downstairs in their wine cellar and it was so worth the wait!! Starting off walking on, the wine shop is well lit but the restaurant potion is more dimly lit and cozy, perfect for a date night. Our sever was just utterly wonderful and so knowledgeable. We ordered the mozzarella appetizer, rabbit fricasse and tuna tempura. Our sevrer recommend a white burgundy to go with my rabbit dish. Hubby opted for one of their reds. The food was absolutely incredible! Starting off the mozzarella appetizer was dleuxous and so well seasoned. I love fresh mozzarella but it can sometimes be aittle blad, but not in this dish. I didn’t lack the plate out of good manners but the temptation was there. My rabbit dish was so indescribably delcious. The rabbit leg was cooked perfectly and served over the most luscious mushrooms with two flaky and delicious mini biscuits. Hubby loved his tuna dish. There was a bit of a delay with his dish but our server was totally on it. While the food was amazing, I’d come back just for the service alone. I also ended up taking home a bottle of the white burgundy I had with my dinner. This place totally lived up to its hype and I can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu and delicious wines.

Very cozy atmosphere. Excellent service and superior meals served with fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly. Seared scallops are especially delicious, tender, and flavorful. Full bar and a huge wine selection.

The food is fantastic and the staff is friendly. I would highly recommend sitting at the bar. But keep in mind that you need to reserve sitting at the bar, too. If you don’t make reservations; then you can be added to a waitlist starting at 4:30 pm, so it’s worth it to make sure you have reservations. You don’t want to miss out on a delicious meal. The mozzarella appetizer was my favorite dish of the evening. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes.

As always the food was amazing. Our reservations were right at opening so all the tables were available. A table right next to us sat the same time we did. For whatever reason their food came out on time from appetizers to main course and dessert. Our food came out very slowly. The other table was on dessert and we hadn’t gotten our main course. I had to call the manager over and he went to the kitchen. Our waiter wasn’t very attentive. He talked a lot and often got distracted. The food finally came out and it was delicious. We’ll see if the service was a one time issue. The manager was super cool and took care of us until we finished our meals.

Had a wonderful dinner last night! All of the food was delicious- I had the halibut and it was amazing! Our server, Caroline, was very friendly and professional. This was true of all of the staff. Every detail added to a relaxing and fantastic meal. I look forward to eating there again!

Excellent food. It was hard to get a reservation here but it was absolutely worth the wait. We sat upstairs (not the downstairs, new addition to FC) and had a delightful meal with excellent service. I highly recommend the salad with the peaches and goat cheese. I’m a huge goat cheese fan, so I ordered that salad and the pork chop (seen in the picture) for the goat cheese bread pudding. The serving was quite large for the pork chop, but my dinner date was happy to finish were I could not. The chocolate mousse was also delightful. It was rich but not sit heavy in your stomach rich. The setting is nice, with a nice ambient sound or conversation. You don’t need to dress up (obviously try and look like a decent human) to come here, even though the atmosphere may seem like it’s very formal.
