Really loved sitting out on the patio with my work colleagues for dinner, and the vibe was great. We especially enjoyed the beignets! My only feedback was the waiter forgetting one of our meals so it came out later than everyone else’s.

This was our first visit and my husband and I enjoyed our meals very much. I had the Wiener schnitzel and my husband had the wagyu beef entree. The dill potato salad that came with the schnitzel was excellent. The Brussel sprouts were also a delight. Our gluten free cornbread was a bit dry so we would not order that again. Apparently they have a large selection of Austrian wines available but we did not partake. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the dining room but it was kind of loud with just a few parties, so it would probably be very loud with a full house. Very nice overall and we would return.

    The food is amazing! It's creative, interesting, beautifully-presented and most of all, delicious. We enjoyed the Australian Bass and Scottish trout as our main course selections and both were wonderful. Our server, Michael T., was friendly, professional, and attentive. The wine selections were great. The ambiance is very nice. Tables are nicely spaced and the noise level is low so you can converse easily. I would highly recommend this restaurant
