The actual dining space was nice but empty on a Saturday evening, it did not feel cozy or fun. Service was excellent & menu had many options but the food was not great. The sole was swarming in butter & the short ribs with root vegetable was tasty enough but was served with 1 small carrot & 1 tiny potato. Since we make this at home it was disappointing in comparison. The wine list “by the glass “ was limited. Overall an underwhelming dining experience

The food and wine pairing was amazing!! The service was good. On of the best streaks I've had in a long time. Extremely surprised by the food quality and service AAA++++! Cons: Charcuterie board was overflowing with bread, meats felt like cold cuts. Cheese selection was ok. not my top choice.

This was New Years and the food was excellent but our service was incredibly slow unfortunately. I would still go back because the food was delicious.

Food was very fair at best. The beet salad was very mushy and limp. The crab bisque was very good! The prime rib sandwich was very gloppy the meat was ok very soupy sandwich with liquid cheese. Not really appealing! Server was excellent!

The food was great. Everyone on the staff was super nice. A little quiet inside. The drinks are a little overpriced for the custom cocktails and they are just ok presentation wise for the price.
