   Cozy corner table to celebrate a birthday with a friend near the fire. Delicious brunch, food was hot and fresh. Service was attentive and anticipatory. First time back since the change in ownership and it was a terrific experience.

   The food was top notch but they were seriously understaffed. It got better as the night went on and the employees that were there were very nice about it. Would definitely go again.

   Fabulous food, impeccable service, enchanting ambiance - the stuff that makes for a perfect evening with friends. Five stars is the highest rating, but it’s at least double that!

   This restaurant delivers excellent cuisine every time we’ve gone! I udually order the fillet mignon which in my opinion is one of the best in southern Oregon. This time I ordered the duck with farro and sweet potato and it was perfect simply outstanding! My husband ordered the salmon and the presentation and taste was exquisite. Without trying the desserts I had the profiteroles with the choux pastry and my hubby the decadent hazelnut and chocolate torte. One of our favorite restaurants in South and anyone’s palate.

   Food was fantastic! atmosphere was very nice and decorated for Valentine’s Day. Had a couple issues with service due to some new staff and a busy night. But Irina reached out afterwards to listen to my feedback and did more than expected to make it right. It’s very clear that they have high standards for service and guest experience.

   As always, the service was superb. We reserved a table weeks in advance through OpenTable and were seated immediately with drinks in hand in no time. The Valentine’s Day prix fixe menu was a delight! The poached shrimp plate and butternut squash soup was divine. The filet mignon was so tender it practically melted in my mouth. The mushroom risotto was equally flavorful, and to finish, the rich chocolate crème was the perfect sweet ending. The ambiance was warm and inviting. Definitely the perfect Valentine dinner for us.

   Food was really nice, felt a little rushed, especially after our reservation was moved 30 min earlier.

   We decided to do an early valentines dinner to avoid the day of chaos. We haven’t been since the change in ownership. It looks beautiful. It took a couple of minutes to be acknowledged, but it was clear they were busy, so not a big deal. We were given an option of where to sit, which was nice. We think it was one of the owners who ended up taking our orders for wine and food. She was delightful and helpful. We ordered the wild mushroom risotto and the chicken with a honey-lavender glaze. The risotto was delicious, but I’ve got to tell you, that chicken was perfection. I typically like to order unusual dishes because what’s the point of eating out if I’m not going to try something I’d never make myself? Chicken is not usually exciting. It’s safe and pretty easy, but this seriously catapulted it into a symphony in my mouth status. I also deeply appreciate that they make everything as it’s ordered. It takes a little time to get it, but it’s very much the way this sort of dining experience should be. If you’re looking for a quick in and out meal, this is not the place. If you’re looking for a lovely, leisurely meal that gives you time to fully savor your company, the atmosphere, yummy wine and incredible food, this is the place.
