    We brought friends for their first experience and they were pleased with the many selections, and different choices they could make. We had the filet, halibut, meatloaf (not necessary your mother's meatloaf) and gnocchi. All very good and the halibut was gluten-free and they had many options. I heard exceptionally good was their rolls. I have see that disease so I brought my own.

    What a gem this spot is. Our server Zach was professional, knowledgeable and passionate about the menu. Josh, the chef, stepped out and talked with our table as well. Creative presentations, culinary creativity and sustainability are all present on this menu. The cocktails were fabulous as well. We can not wait to return.

    Went for our anniversary dinner and the restaurant exceeded expectations. Excellent drinks, food, service and ambiance. Lamb meatballs, wagyu, and strip were all great and I’m not a pie person but will be getting the pie there every time we visit. Rozalind our waiter and Josh the chef were great to interact with. If you’re on the fence about trying this place just go and you will not regret it.

    Our waitstaff, Michelle, was pleasant & helpful. We started with the Elote Corn Dip, Crispy Brussel Sprouts & the Roasted Heirloom Beet Salad. Our entrees were the Charred Octopus & the Bison Wellington. For dessert, we had the Hazelnut Plum Crostata. As always, everything was wonderful.

    They appear to be having some quality control issues. Two of our three entrees were initially served. We were told the third dish “wasn’t ready”. The third came out about 15 minutes later. One of the two entrees initally served was a scallop dish which was undercooked and had to be sent back. The chef came out to apologize and literally said the scallops were undercooked. If you order scallops, check before you eat them to make sure they are fully cooked.

    Very surprised when the bill came being charged for “ice cubes” in two of the cocktails. Should inform customers of the upcharge for “ice cubes”.
    Rood- LakewoodResponded on November 27, 2024
    Thank you for your feedback, Daniel! We’d like to clarify that the upcharge wasn’t for the “ice cubes” but rather for the larger liquor pour served on the rocks. This is a standard practice to ensure the pour aligns with the drink’s presentation and quality. We appreciate your visit and hope this clears up any confusion. If you have further questions, we’re happy to chat!
