Everything the four of us ordered was beautiful and delicious! I had steak tartare, which is hard to find in this town, and was the perfect combination of egg, arugula pesto, and mustard, served with lovely, toasted baguette slices. My partner had miso cod with asparagus -- my, oh my! He let me have a bite, and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Don't get me started on the desserts. We shared bread pudding and cheesecake -- both lovely. The bartender made me a lovely Perfect Manhattan. Only disappointment was that there weren't as many beers on tap as usual, but what they had was satisfying. Love this place and the wonderful staff!

We came to Autumn to celebrate a birthday. All of us are foodies, including a trained chef active in the industry, and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The menu had so many interesting options that we decided to go for the Chef’s Choice 4 course. Everything was plated beautifully and the quality of ingredients was top notch. From our initial sips of the craft cocktails, you must try the butter infused bourbon…, to the oh so jiggly creamy panna cotta for dessert, every bite was a delight. Kudos to the staff and chef!

Food was great. I believe there were some staffing issues so service was a bit slow. They generously gifted us some complimentary glasses of wine.
