    It was a later lunch on a Thursday, so pretty quiet. Our server, Brandon, was pretty wonderful. Service was flawless, the food was delicious. We wanted to have a long lunch to catch up, and he was so gracious throughout. We never felt rushed. A lovely meal and experience.

    The wife and kids meals were good. My steak was way over cooked and unable to eat. Gave it to the dog.

    Brandon was fantastic! Took great care of us. Food was excellent - easily the best resturant in 50 miles of Erie. Lived in northern Va for 40 years and had access to many great restaurants. So appreciate great food and friendly atmosphere.

    Naan app was very good, beet salad was tasty (tiny pieces of beet with whole spinach leaves so a bit hard to get on a fork). Special sea bass— one piece bland and overcooked (like actually crunchy in places) the other gray and fishy, risotto was relatively tasteless. Steak frites was good but ordered medium and got very rare. Stopped at a friend’s table and she had the same experience with her steak. Fries were hot and tasty. Server was pleasant but inattentive ( or overworked). Drinks were good but quite a wait—finished app before cocktails arrived.

    Hi Gary, It sounds like we completely missed the mark with you and we are incredibly sorry about this. Please know, we have taken your feedback to our team and have addressed internally. Your candid remarks are the only way we can continue to improve-- so for that we thank you. However, this does not make up for the fact you had an unpleasant experience with us. We would truly like the opportunity to host you again in the future to make up for this experience. We will private message you an email so we can coordinate a visit, if you are willing. Thank you.
