    We had the chef's tasting menu and it did not disappoint! A farm-to-table themed 5-course (although there 2-3 more palate cleansers in there as well) covering much seafood as well as short ribs. The tasting menu does change depending on what local farmers have in season. The service was outstanding, the restaurant had amazing ambience but there was not a single note of pretentiousness which gives comfort to really enjoy the dining experience and ask as many questions as you want. The tasting menu was a lot of food as well, so for $95 it was really good value.

    Joni exceeds expectations every time we visit. We normally have dinner once or twice a year and the experience evolves for the better every time. This last time they had live music (piano) during our meal. The tasting menu is a must.

    Bit of a wait upon checking in, and had to stand around for a while before the hostess or anyone else greeted us. Even a quick heads up to let us know they’ll be with us in a second would’ve been nice. Aside from the hostess, rest of the service was great and ambience was lovely.

    The food and ambiance were outstanding. While the service was good, the main course did take a bit longer to arrive — though it didn’t detract from our overall dining experience. We enjoyed a great conversation, accompanied by live music and the cozy warmth of a fireplace. Despite the restaurant being quite full, we could chat comfortably without raising our voices. The cocktails were also exceptional. Will be back

    Beautiful space. Decorated like cherry blossoms, quite lovely. Fireplace against back wall was nice. My friend and I both ordered the Poached Pear salad and added protein (chicken for her, shrimp for me). The shrimp were cooked perfectly and very fresh. I would have wanted a larger sized salad, but it was under Starters, so it was clearly not an entree size, so it met expectation. The pecans were crunchy and sweet and a nice touch to the salad. I would return and either get that again or try something new.
