    This was such a good selection for a date night out while on a big family vacation in Encinitas. Our server was very friendly, knowled,and attentive. The ambiance was somewhat rustic but a very keen eye for detail. We started with the beef tartare special and it was a great start to a fantastic experience. Everything was delicious. Great restaurant.

    Most amazing birthday meal tonight. The server was so attentive and made sure we all knew how the menu worked and how to have the best experience. The broccoli was the number 1 at our table followed by the chicken dish and the market fish. The s’mores dessert was so fun and delicious as well! Everything 10/10, worth the wait for a reservation.

    I appreciated the service from the hostess to the waitress to the server. It was a very great experience. The menu had a great variety of options and the drinks menu had a great selection. I ordered the N.Y. steak meal and it was prepared to perfection! My wife had the charcuterie board and she really enjoyed it! I was surprised with a candle on the chocolate mousse that we ordered because my birthday was recently and we enjoyed that treat! Thank you so much!
