This turned out to be the perfect choice for spending the holiday. It was our first visit. We arrived as it opened and were seated right away. Chose the blueberry sage gin cocktail at the recommendation of our server and it was delicious. Our meal began with fried cauliflower, then onto to share the burger, sardines in a tin, and the salad and every item was full of flavor did not disappoint. Our server was super friendly, attentive, and had great food recommendations. After our meal we walked around the art gallery on the second floor. Overall, great experience. Can't wait to come back.

Steakhouse Review This steakhouse delivers an exceptional dining experience. The staff are friendly, attentive, and accommodating, going above and beyond to make the night special. Their tomahawk steak special is OUTSTANDING —perfectly cooked and flavorful. For my wife’s birthday, they surprised us with a salted bourbon bread pudding with a candle, a thoughtful touch that added to the celebration. The chill atmosphere and their care in packing to-go orders make this place a standout. Highly recommended for great food and fantastic service!
