What a great experience. Our server, Arwyn (spelling) was marvelous on all counts. I had the butternut squash soup, which was beautiful and delicious. For my entree, I had the bass…it was cooked perfectly, succulent with a crispy, well seasoned skin. We shared the Chestnut Rocks dessert, which was unique in both presentation and flavors. We’re so glad Arwyn recommended it. This restaurant isn’t cheap but well worth the expense, in my view.

We had the pre fixe menu on Christmas Day. The food was phenomenal and the space was gorgeous. We thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience and would recommend this place for special occasions. The wait for our food was on the longer side, but it was Christmas Day so I presume it was due to being short staffed on a busy dining day.
