    The food was so disgusting. And for $125?? Absolutely not. I would’ve gotten a better meal at chick fil a for $10. I never write reviews or complain but everything was so disgusting. They should not be serving this nasty food sorry but it was just so gross and I wish I gotten my money back I don’t know what they’re thinking to serve this. It ruined my night that’s how bad it was

    Very comfortable inside. There is a beautiful outdoor dining area but it was too cold to eat outside. The food was delicious. The service was quick and efficient.

    We always coming here for a wonderful food experience. Last night the menu was really updated to a number of new dishes and we enjoyed everything that was served. A really fantastic restaurant experience. Can’t wait for the courtyard to re-open when the temperature allows! Thanks, David Dellinger

    We had a fantastic dinner to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday! Our server, Becky, really was amazing. She was attentive and very helpful. I had wanted to order the special but it was made with a walnut pesto and I am allergic. She checked with the kitchen to see if they could substitute the walnut pesto for the pistachio pesto, but unfortunately they were not. Becky made a great recommendation for me to try the penne in vodka sauce and it was amazing! My fiancé had the braised short rib and it was delicious as well. The chocolate nemesis cake was the perfect finale for our lovely dinner. All in all we had a great evening here, the food was delicious and Becky was fantastic!
