    What a true Gem! The service, food and ambiance were amazing. We will definitely dine here again when we come visit. We had the arugula salad, the pork chop - which my husband, who travels a lot, said it was the best thick cut pork chop he'd every had. I don't have burgers often so I was looking forward to the wagyu burger, but they had literally changed the menu that day to add a short rib burger instead of the wagyu. Never had a short rib burger before but it was amazing! Grilled, tender and very flavorful. I also had the fries and they were great. We had the pot de creme for dessert - perfect! Flavor was amazing - not too sweet. Everything was exceptional - including the very knowledgeable and very welcoming host - Jemele (I apologize if I'm misspelling) and our server - Sammie J - Outstanding!!

    Everything we had was exceptionally flavorful and our waitress was so friendly & helpful with the timing of our courses. The whipped feta and salmon crudo are both sizable appetizers. The smoky aioli and chimichurri added great flavor to the crispy octopus. The ambiance is so quaint and perfect for date night!
