We sat at the counter last night to a fantastic dinner made right in front of t of us. We love the counter to watch and befriend the 2 chef’s at work. I had the special halibut with a seasonal risotto and a sauce that was to die for. Absolutely delicious. Many things are spicy so just ask for less spice if you so desire. BYOB allows for the price to be very reasonable and the service was friendly, funny and so accommodating. Truly a 10 star restaurant!!

Wonderful dinner tonight! Food was excellent as always, as well as the service. Only complaint would be the Boise level - just a little loud this evening, but overall another great experience. Highly recommend!
