Beautiful environment. We tasted roasted duct breast, warm seafood salad, dark chocalate pecan and cream brule. All was delicious. Service qas not fast enough for our chance, but very kind. We recommend strongly.

Wonderful service and ambiance. The food was delicious and excellent quality! I like how the restaurant is high-end but is somewhat casual too. Not pretentious. Will come back.

Atmosphere wasn't the greatest, but it was pretty good. We got a salad that was really good, the dressing was great and the veggie choice was simple but prepared well. The service was nice too - we got an undercooked shrimp pizza, and then they replaced it with another undercooked shrimp pizza, BUT they gave us a single free Creme Brule to share amongst the two of us. That was also undercooked, though. Overall, the food sucked, the waitresses/waiters were nice, and the atmosphere was good. There's a lot of good places around this one, I'd probably go there.

5 stars is not enough. This was the best dining experience my family has ever had. Service was delightful and the food was even better. The drinks were so unique along with the menu options. I wouldn’t miss out on eating here. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegetarian options. Accommodating for dairy as well although the menu did not have dairy free options marked.

The food was above average but lacked real balance overall, which kept it from being 5 stars for me. It reminded me of a wine that looks good and smells good and then, just lacks oomph. We dined outdoors because of COVID concerns, and it was cold. They had some heaters but some ran out of propane while we were dining, and due to miscommunication of the staff, no one came to take our order or even to make contact for at least 10 minutes. We had to flag down a waiter who wasn’t our server in order to get noticed despite checking in for our reservation. The food also seemed a bit dated, like what might have been “high style” or haute cuisine in terms of the layers, garnishes, oils and sauces in the plate, but the food ultimately failed to be anything but above average for me.
