The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. The timing of the arrival of our food from appetizers to dessert was perfect. The placement of our plates and attention to detail was superb. My wife and I felt truly cared for and we never felt rushed to eat and depart, but only to take the time to enjoy ourselves in the moment as the piano played softly in the background. It was a truly relaxing and delicious experience.

Smashing grapes was a smashing success! The ambience was lovely, the food was better than expected, and the service was superb. We’re not much of a wine drinker, but the offerings were top-notch and chosen with care. All in all a must try!

Everything was great. Waiter great. However I had your famous pot pie. Waiter should provide a large spoon. But my issue was way too much rosemary in the pot pie. Doesn’t need any. I only ate a few bites

Great to see this place so busy! My wife and I were pleased with all aspects of our dining experience. Happy hour menu was solid (that smoked old fashioned is fantastic!). Entrees were delicious. Service was slightly slower than expected, but that was probably due to how full the restaurant was. Server was helpful and responsive.
