This was our first time dining here. It’s a beautiful space and the ambiance was nice. The food was just ok - very price to not be amazing. The menu was limited due to NYE so the few dishes should have been the best they have. Overall just meh.

The red wine braised short rib and crab crusted sea bass specials were to die for. What a fantastic surprise for a holiday dinner. The cheesecake was nothing short of spectacular. Whoever does the beautiful Christmas decorations should get a raise.

Excellent service! Nicole was a phenomenal server. The pot roast was delicious and a very generous portion! We’ve been here a few times, but celebrating our anniversary today was my favorite.

I hadn’t been here in a long time probably since previous owners. Truthfully me personally I was disappointed with my filet…it was so so. I thought my meal was overpriced. However my friend had the schnitzel and I had a bite and thought it was very good
