Went here for a bday dinner and it was absolutely delicious. We’ve tried many other places looking for the perfect beef wellington including a few kitchen’s in Las Vegas and let me tell ya, this one here takes 1st place. We also ordered lobster risotto, stuffed baked potato and a apricot cherry cornmeal cake. The lobster risotto was cooked to perfection, maybe a little too perfect because I finished it and I probably shouldn’t have, haha! Creamy, buttery, soft, chewy and the lobster, perfectly seasoned. I don’t usually eat beef but the wellington was a must try and believe me, it was exquisite! Melt in your mouth tender juicy beef with just the perfect amount of sauce. The pastry has such a homemade flavor that you want to just wait a moment, and enjoy it slowly. Same with the brisket on on the potato! I mean seriously, it was just melting. We also had onion soup and it was really flavorful. I’d never had it before so I can’t say I’ve had better or worse nonetheless, this one was quite tasty. Oh yes, my new obsession thanks to this dinner, pepperdew pepper’s! If they have them, TRY THEM. Sweet, savory with a hint of just a little kick of spice covered in balsamic and accompanied by a few things I can’t remember but anyway, my new obsession, lol. Prices are less than what I expected from a place with such great and friendly service and excellent food. There is an extensive menu of alcoholic beverages for those who enjoy a good glass. ***Almost forgot, you can call ahead and ask about their menu since it changes weekly. I called ahead and requested the beef wellington and it was made available but they don’t always have them available.***

WOW!!! Phenomenal dinner!!! We started with drinks, fresh bread (with some divine butter) & french onion soup!! Our main courses were superb- the chimichurri sauce is so fresh, it’s a must have. Honestly, I cannot wait to come back here. It felt like we were in a Hallmark movie. I even overheard other guests talking about how glad they were to be back- it’s such a lovely restaurant and the staff is so welcoming.

Everything was great! We started dinner kind of early and spent about 2.5 hours enjoying our meal/drinks with good company. Will be back again to try other items on the menu.

I’m sorry but our experience wasn’t good. When you’re looking for fine dining it’s usually for a special occasion and you want your night to be exceptional. I’m going to try and save you money and time. Here were our issues and pictures to match.

We came on restaurant week, so they had a pre-set menu. The food was shared as family style but extremely small portions. The salmon was unbelievably amazing. There are definitely tons of new and unique flavors to experience. We were taken by surprise.

Found this place during restaurant week, but will definitely return for their regular menu as our dishes were delicious. All ingredients are fresh and seasonal from the local farmer’s market. Filet and lamb were cooked perfectly. French onion soup and tartar were great appetizers, and the dessert options were delicious (especially the apple trio for the Fall). The staff was nice and attentive, checking on us and refilling water, and gave great recommendations on food and wine pairings, including a port with dessert. Overall amazing experience for a special night out and a treat to find this place!

Yikes this place is bad! It’s where Vincent’s used to be and claims to be a French restaurant, but is anything but. It’s actually pretty hard to tell what they want to be because the menu has overpriced American steakhouse, French onion soup, Chinese bao, and a mish mash of other cuisines – not in a fusion and intentional way, but in a haphazard way.

Had dinner during Covid-19 restrictions. They did a great job on all accounts. Two fixed menus to choose from. I had the squash flower, rack of lamb, and cheesecake. She had the corn fritters, duck, and cake. All were fantastic. The mixed drinks were also excellent. I highly recommend.
