    The setting in a historic building on Fountain Square is elegant and beautiful. The decor is pleasing. The service was friendly and efficient. Good variety of choices on the menu. The food was delicious, delicately seasoned with unique combinations. An excellent experience.

    They had multiple menu items that weren’t available. We are from out of town, so we looked at the menu online. One dish happened to be the specific reason why we went there for my mother’s birthday. Then, other items were premade, which could not be altered for her because she can’t have spicy foods because of autoimmune issues. An item on the charcuterie board (truffle butter or truffle honey) couldn’t be served because they didn’t have it, which is what my mom ended up ordering but was told they didn’t have it after her order was placed. I ordered the filet medallions, but they were out of those, too. So, I ended up getting the filet. The least they could have done was comped the Bernaise because I opted out of the sauce the filet came with, but they still charged $5 for that. It was memorable, but not in a positive way.

    We made reservations for 7:00 for my wife's birthday. As we were going through the day, we got hungry sooner, so we decided to go early and see if they could seat us. We figured if not, we could hang out at the bar until it was time, so win-win either way. They were very accommodating to us and seated us right away, which tuned out to be a blessing. As we were wrapping up our meal, a large group of young folks came in for their HS Formal dinner and the sound level greatly increased. No shade on the kids, they were just having fun and we not at all disrespectful. Just the noise level increased when they got there. Our server was very attentive to us, but never made us feel rushed. My wife got the filet medallions and I got the stuffed chicken. Her medallions were very good. My chicken was fine. Overall, we will definitely be back to try other things on the menu. It's a higher end cajon cuisine, so there are lots of very appetizing items on the menu. They have a more casual menu and vibe in the bar area if you are looking for something less formal.

    Only complaint was I guess they need more employees. Our server and apparently the kitchen was overwhelmed. Concert at SkyPac had them scrambling. Food was great; service, especially the timing of taking an order and when to bring.ouy what, was the biggest problem.

    My husband and I went with friends for my birthday. The filet mignon is the best in town! The cheesecake with raspberry sauce was brought with a written “Happy birthday” message on the plate and was delicious. This is a great restaurant in a great location. We always take a stroll around the downtown square after we eat here. Beautiful ambiance in a lovely part of town. And the food is outstanding!
