    My friends and I had an exceptional dining experience here, and we were thrilled with every aspect of our meal. The decor and ambiance struck the perfect balance between romantic and classy, creating an inviting atmosphere. We were particularly impressed with the extensive wine list and chose a Napa Valley Cabernet, which was perfect. The food exceeded our expectations, showcasing thoughtful ingredients and masterful preparation. The tomahawk steak, with its beautifully charred exterior and tender, flavorful marbling, was a true standout. We couldn’t resist trying a pasta dish and were delighted by the rigatoni with sausage—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. For sides, we shared the creamed spinach and mac and cheese, both of which were incredibly well-executed and far from ordinary. To top it all off, the sugar brownie was the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. Whether you’re planning a night out with friends or looking for the perfect spot for a date, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. It’s a night to remember!

    Wonderful atmosphere and very attentive service. Our waitress was patient with us as we were having a business meeting over dinner and thus took longer than a typical reservation. She was very friendly during touch points while not being overbearing which we truly appreciated and made great recommendations for appetizers.

    Good neighborhood place. It wasn’t busy when we were there, but it still took quite some time for our food to be served. Didn’t enjoy waiting…but I guess that’s the price of freshly-made food. We will continue to eat there.
