Called ahead for a party of 10 and last minute changed to 15 with no problems. The service was great. We had a private room for our group. The appetizers are smaller portions on certain things, so definitely ask on size if you plan to share them. All of the meals have great portion sizes and were delicious! Everyone loved their cocktails, too!! The menu seems to rotate, or at least how dishes are prepared change routinely. The pictures attached are of the Flounder, NY Strip Steak, Sea Scallops, & Braised Lamb.

What a nice dinner. They had a prix fix menu that was soup or salad, entree, and then dessert.

Y’all are definitely a little hidden gem. I’m so glad we stopped. From your amazing bread to the 3 course dinner course. We ranted and raved the entire time about how amazing everything was. You are officially in my top 3 picks of the places I have dined. The besttttttttt scallops I have EVER had. Like butter, melted in my mouth.

Definitely one of the better restaurants in Gainesville. The menu changes, and it’s clear they try to work with ingredients that are in season. They definitely have some interesting and innovative dishes. The dessert was absolutely delicious. Prices are reasonable for the quality and generous portions. Service was friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. I’d definitely come back.

Such a cute little spot not too far off the interstate for us as we were traveling. We started with the escargot and it was very good! My husband had the lamb and I had the salmon, both were cooked perfectly! The cakes looked amazing but we took them to go so I can’t comment on taste yet. 100% would recommend!

Stopped in for lunch, and was recommended the “lamburger” by the hostess. I’ve never tried lamb before, and I have to say it was fantastic! One of the best burgers I’ve had in awhile. The fries were also very well done, and their house made aioli is to die for! Highly recommend if you are in the area!

We were not expecting the type of dinner menu being offered and the waitress kindly brought over the cafés menu also. We had the swordfish, the calamari salad and the mini burger. Food was very good and the waitress did a great job. Their desserts are fantastic and the expresso excellent.

I went there for their Thanksgiving dinner. The salad was excellent but the service was just below average and the turkey dinner was very bland. The Brussel sprouts were good, but the dinner was otherwise tasteless. It hurt to pay so much for the meals.

My husband and I went on Valentine’s Day with a reservation, in which we were seated immediately. We ended up doing a 3-course menu option (starter, entrée, and dessert). All the food was delicious. I ordered the hen with risotto, and the way it was cooked was amazing. The hen was so tender and the portion size was much bigger than I anticipated. I was so full that I had to take half my cake home. Which was also very good—I had a raspberry torte and it was very fluffy and not overly sweet. I can’t wait to go again!
