We absolutely love the flavors and food presentation at FC. It's a fun spot, especially with the casual outdoor seating. The selection of international wines is fantastic. If you're coming with a large group, you're sure to have a great time. We've had many memorable family dinners here and always look forward to the next one!

Love the atmosphere and the festive decorations! The food is tremendous and service is excellent. My husband had the branzino, which was deliciously smoky with a nice crispy skin, and my black cod was well seasoned and cooked to silky perfection. The warm apple crisp was outstanding, we’d go back just for dessert!
