    Everything we shared was amazing..beet salad, chicken under a brick, beef with citrus, pasta special and citrus/olive oil cake for dessert. Everyone is so friendly and professional. One of our favorites!

    2nd time here. First time everything was spot on. This round the flavor profiles were not my cup of tea. I had the whitefish in a broth. The fish was delicious, but the broth was too citrusy. 2 of the 3 appetizers had interesting profiles but were also not the right balance for my perhaps unsophisticated tastes. The menu changes frequently, so I did not get the best week for my tastebuds.

    The best dining experience I have had in a long time. The service was exceptional and so was the food. From the moment we walked in, to the bar service and dining experience everything was perfection. I will be back over and over again. Well done!
