    Everything was good but some large parties arrived shortly after us and it became very noisy and hard to converse.

    I met a friend for happy hour. 3 pm but we were given a brunch menu? Not really what we had in mind but we both picked the steak salad. It was really tasty and well done steak. The waitress must have been busy because we didn’t see her at all until we finished. No refills of water. It was a bit pricey for 2 salads and a three glass wine tasting for one and an ice tea for the other. $90

    Esme was our server and she was great, we want to be at her table from now on. Great server, friendly, and was there for whatever we needed. Our son's best friend just happened to be the entertainment when we sat on the patio so it was perfect. Thanks for everything.

    A bit disappointed in the steak salad...it was all spinach with minimal ingredients. The steak pieces were quite tough and grisly. It tasted good as I do like spinach however expected more. Service was very nice; the Servers were gracious and pleasant. Possibly I was the only one with a negative comment as my friends appeared to enjoy.

    The food is always great. We always order the brussel sprouts and the fig bruschetta to start. The Holiday lamb was to die for, but I am sad that they may not have it after the holidays. We tried 3 different red wines from their vintage and they were all wonderful.

    We chose to sit outside and enjoyed the ambiance of the fireplace. Our waitress and the man who filled our water glasses were wonderful!

    Kelsey is a great server! And the holiday rack of lamb with Israeli couscous- probably one of the most outstanding dinners!

    Good vibe on the beautiful patio. Sat next to the fireplace. I thought the salad was good, but expensive, especially to add a protein.
