We were able to take advantage of the 3 course prix fixe dinner menu and it offers just about everything that you could want - many choices for appetizers and entrees, enough choices for dessert , and a great price ($27). It's a winner!

We went for Sunday brunch,they they have a specific brunch menu which has about 20 good items on it but they were out of 3 of them - We got there as they open the doors - which to me seems ridiculous when you only offer 20 set items. And for a Sunday brunch the music was way too loud but the restaurant is pretty! Food was ok, needs work.

My husband ordered the steak special with brussel sprouts & a twice baked potato. I was disappointed for him because the brussel sprouts came CHARRED, didn't even recognize them as brussel sprouts. Had to send them back. Much better once he received the second batch. Steak was ordered medium. That came more done than medium. Was a little dry. My husband didn't want to complain so he settled. Overall, the quality of the food was good.

This was a lovely place! Drinks were great! It was Happy Hour so that made things even better! The Sangria was delicious! We went to our table and had the Burrata for an appetizer which melted in your mouth! I had skirt steak and it was perfect! Dessert was delicious as well! Apple crumb with vanilla ice cream was also amazing! I would definitely go back!
