My first experience visiting this beautiful restaurant was marvelous. Entering this comfortably chic surroundings was topped only by the gracious hostess & servers. Food selection is challenging given the diverse choices. This, no-rush environment is very refreshing. We will be returning.

The food was outstanding, and Dawn provided excellent service. After dinner, we picked up a few bottles from the market to take home as gifts. We’ll definitely be returning!
