Probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had. We started off with the tenderloin bruschetta and side salads, yum! We ordered x2 14oz ribeyes with au gratin potatoes - and one word - WOW! We also ordered aside of the Cabernet reduction to dip our steak in - best decision! We also had the pecan crusted trout and it was delicious. I highly recommend the drink ‘White Linen’ if you like gin & a drink that tastes light and refreshing. We finished it all off with a crème brûlée. Literally a perfect meal and I can’t remember our servers name, but he was awesome as well. Ambience was soft lighting, which is my favorite.

We LOVED this place!! So beautiful! We ended up sitting at the bar because we started out there. I didn’t get the bartender who waited on us name, but she was awesome. Spent so much time catching up with my friend that we didn’t eat a whole lot, but what we had was incredible. They also have some fun cocktails and a fantastic wine menu. It was super cold, but we still had to check out the view. Beautiful patio!
