    This was one of the best and most memorable dinners I’ve had in a while. From the moment we walked in the staff went above and beyond. I’m on crutches and since our table wasn’t immediately available someone went and grabbed me a chair. Small gesture that makes a big difference. We were seated at the counter and it was quite a show. We loved seeing how the food was cooked on the wood burning oven and watching the way the chefs executed their individual roles was super cool. They were really busy but seemed happy to interact and answer questions. All of the food was spectacular. Never did I think I’d be calling out a bread service but it was incredible!! The steak and spaetzel were standouts, along with the tiramisu. It was a great experience start to finish. Great staff, amazing food, and a unique experience all around.

    Staff was supper attentive. I love clean healthy food due to digestive issues and my boyfriend loves a classic breakfast (I think there were 5-6 different Benedicts). They had both on the menu. I had the greens and grains and it was very filling and satisfying. Will be back.
