    We had a remarkable Valentine’s dining experience here. The chefs here are creative & talented & we were so happy to find a restaurant serving food like this in this area, as we have found these kind of choices to be lacking. Between the two of us we had the house made naan with liver pâté that was outstanding, the scallops starter, the sirloin and cod entrees & the most delicious goat cheesecake for dessert. Everything was cooked & seasoned to perfection and the presentation was on point. Table service was friendly and at a comfortable pace. Don’t let the location in the strip mall fool you- the food being created in this restaurant is as good as many fine dining places in big foodie cities. We will definitely be back Next time we will reserve for seating at the bar so we can watch these chefs in action. Bravo!👏🏻

    Food was very good quality for the price. Wednesdays had a $3 discount per meal which was a nice surprise. The separate pastry shop, everything looked delicious but I found the frosting was too heavy and greasy.
