    Wonderful dining experience…food was exceptional…both main courses (filet and seafood stew over rice) cooked to perfection. Our waiter was on top of bar and food orders! It’s great to have another fine dining restaurant in Morgantown! Will definitely return!!

    Not a bad experience but definitely kinks to work out. Bar service was super slow as there was one bartender for the whole place with one trainee. Food service was suuuuuper slow. You can tell they’re trying to cook fresh from scratch but timing doesn’t work out. Mashed potatoes were cold, but fish was hot. With some time and attention this could be a good place.
