We sat at the bar and enjoyed an amazing array of meals. Jorge was a wealth of knowledge, guiding us through the wine menu and suggesting his favorite dishes for us to try. GM Herrel made us feel welcomed from the minute we arrived.

Took my husband here for his birthday dinner, I have not been here in over 20 years. The ambience was absolutely breathtaking. The food was incredible and the service was impeccable. Anthony, our server was probably one of the best servers we have ever had. Not sure why it took me 20 years to come back but now I think this is our new favorite place!

It took a month to get in and it was worth it. I had frequented the pond house when I was young (35 yrs ago) and I had been wanting to get back. It was as good as I remember. Staff got us in earlier than our reservation time, waitstaff were friendly and welcoming and the popovers and jam are the best I’ve had! Definitely worth the visit/experience.
