Everything about our dinner was outstanding. Ambiance was lovely without being pretentious. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Martini was spot on. Focaccia bread and herb butter were so yummy we ordered seconds. Salad was very good. Grilled vegetables were out of this world. Steak tartare was well presented. And German chocolate tart was delicious. The best meal we’ve had in a very long time. Chef is creative with his choice of flavors, and it is truly and experience for your tastebuds. Only wish we lived close by to come here as regulars! A true gem of a culinary experience.

    Lucky was our server and timed the dinner beautifully never rushing us thru courses - including letting us enjoy our drinks first. Love that! We had the swordfish and salmon and will say very best we’ve had in a long time! The food & beverages complimented the Autumn season. Has two wood burning fireplaces in dining room which just screams ambiance! Will be here again in 2027!
