We came to the restaurant to celebrate my birthday. It was me, my mother, my sister and my sister‘s dog. The patio always beautiful and the food was good. But the service was extremely lacking. Once our food was ordered, I don’t think our waitress ever came back. We had to track down people for beverage refills and that was frustrating. We had a 1:30 reservation so the restaurant was not very busy at the time we were there. I love the atmosphere and the food, but based on the service, I would think twice about coming back.

We had seating at a quiet table at the edge of the patio for our anniversary and very much enjoyed the experience. The lighting and ambiance were nice and the service and food were terrific as well. The winter Brie was delicious and we both discovered winners in the wine flights. Definitely would come back.

We had a girls lunch today. The patio was lovely and we all enjoyed the food and wine. We had salmon tacos, Cobb salad and BBQ flatbreads. Everything was excellent. The whiskey Bundt cake for dessert was delicious too. Jane was our server. She provided outstanding service and was very accommodating with separate checks. We will definitely return.
