We dined on a Friday night and they were very short staffed. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the bartender excellent so we had plenty to do while we waited. We did not realize the only option was the $75 3 course fixed price menu - app/salad, main and dessert. Not our first choice but we ordered a salad, steak and dessert to split. Plenty of food for two and it was very good. When we got the bill they charged us for the salad. Silly error since there are only three things you can pick on the menu. Server corrected without an apology. We still enjoyed the meal but doubt we need to go back.

We enjoyed our server, Giovanni's friendly nature. The food was good, the house unique. The only negative we experienced was that we were never told about the "bottomless Mimosas", apparently the name of the brunch?????

Beautiful historical house/hotel/restaurant overlooking the water. We had brunch there and all enjoyed it immensely. The service was impeccable, and the general manager made us feel welcomed from start to finish.

Terrible. Charged us for party of 8 had to remind them no credit on the bill and then didn’t give us the proper credit really seemed like a scam. When I booked the reservation it did not say we needed to guarantee reservation. It wasn’t even busy.

Tasting menu is elegant and heavy on portions. Ribeye was cooked perfect, and filet was very tender. Couch was a little uncomfortable, but Sevice and live dinner music was very nice.
