    My husband had I went for dinner for an early valentines day. We shared the broiled oysters. They were a little small for the price but were very good. We had the kale salad with beets. They split the salad up into two bowls. It was tasty. We shared the 14oz NY strip and honey carrots. We ordered the steak medium rare. The one end was well done but my husband likes it that way. They precut the steak into slices and served it on a wood platter. It was very nice. For dessert we each had a glass of port. The service was very professional.

    Such a beautiful place and unique menu. We enjoyed the celery root soup with duck confit. So different and absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the scallops and au gratin cauliflower. My husband had the ribeye which was good but not the best. We also enjoyed the chocolate mousse cake, which was also outstanding. The bourbon old fashioned was also one of the best I have had. The atmosphere was amazing and I look forward to returning in the summer to enjoy the outdoor area and view!
