Patrick is literally dinner and a show. His knowledge of the menu, drinks and ability to match our preferences is amazing. All the servers are excellent and the food is the best in the area. This is our favorite.

Went for Monday Pasta Night prix fixe@$45. Great service, friendly and very attentive. The appetizers were delicious and plentiful. The pasta was just ok: cavatelli with duck ragu lacked flavor, tasted like it could have been made with ground turkey-no “oomph.” The spaghetti with clams and chili crisp was swimming in chili oil, tasty but too wet. Chocolate rocky road cheesecake was more like a thick mousse, but was tasty - albeit a bit too sweet. Not sure I think this is a “good” value, when you add in the wine (3glasses for two of us) and tax and tip the bill still comes to $165, for a pasta entree. I Love the ambience of this place, and it always has a very attractive crowd, just wish it was a bit less expensive.

Delicious as always- the don’t have the spoonbread this time which is our favorite but as usual it was fantastic. The Wagu burger was delicious as was the chicken. 10/10

We had a wonderful time. This was a meeting place 1/2 way for each couple ( 1 hour or so ride for each). We had a wonderful time. Our waitress was friendly and attentive . We had a spacious private table and the food was well prepared and delicious. We appreciated the interesting and delicious vegetables included in several of our meals and having our water replaced whenever needed. We also enjoyed the historical , cozy ambiance. Our only complaint was the limited menu. We would have appreciated more salad options, a larger wine and beer ( including drafts ) selection and a larger dessert selection. Even if not much can be stored due to the remote location in winter, ice creams with different toppings such as liquors , hot fudge and warm fruit could be stored easily or perhaps, warn fruit crisps or cobblers.

Fabulous food, service, and ambiance. The young Russian chef is a multi-talented marvel, destined for higher things, so enjoy Taiga now!!
