The food and wine were superb. We enjoyed a lovely bowl of bisque style lobster chowder with bacon, the filet with stuffed shrimp and a bacon cheeseburger with truffle fries. Our server was not as attentive as we would like, we were celebrating my husband’s 65 birthday and the server did not inquire about a special occasion. We overheard a server at two adjacent tables inquire if their customers were celebrating a special occasion and we had mentioned they it was my husband’s birthday on the reservation form.

Not our first rodeo here and it never disappoints. Great food, great ambiance and great service make it a worthwhile journey. Wished we lived closer to dine on a more regular basis. We toned it down a little last night with a shared Autumn Salad, Elk Osso Bucco, Four Hour Short Ribs and exquisite desserts and a double expresso. Everything was simply outstanding.
