    Food was excellent, service started out good, but after we had our food, she got too busy with other customers. Wish they’d read the notes when you book. Definitely recommend this place, a bit different and good 👍

    Wonderful food and atmosphere. Drinks were delicious. I tried the sparkling cucumber gimlet, it was refreshing and delicious. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection. Our waitress Tina was very attentive to our needs and accommodated our party of three couples by splitting the check even after we forgot to ask… my mistake. Will definitely return when we come back down to visit.

    We were seated at a beautiful banquette table with a lovely view of the dining room. Our waitress was quiet, thorough, and so helpful . The sea bass was probably the best fish I’ve ever had with miso butter, mushrooms and asparagus . My husband had the best steak he has ever eaten - boneless strip steak au poivre with chambord cream cooked perfectly medium rare. We have already booked our next reservation there.
