Our first time back to our favorite restaurant since Chef Greg took over, and he did not disappoint. The menu is a very nice balance of some Matisse favorites with some new, wonderful creations. The staff are first rate. We will be back.

This was a fantastic choice for my boyfriend’s birthday! He was delighted with the decorations, the diversity in food choices, and impressed with the authentic yet unique flavors! Service really enhanced the experience and yes, I purchased a birthday package for which I’d highly recommend. Thank you for helping make this birthday man’s special day so memorable!
