I recently had the most unexpected and amazing dining experience at a restaurant that wasn’t even open to the public yet! My fiancé and I had made a reservation, but we didn’t realize the restaurant was still in the pre-opening phase. We arrived, slightly confused, and were told that they weren’t officially open. However, instead of turning us away, the staff were so gracious and welcoming—they made an exception and allowed us to stay and dine.
Despite not being fully operational, the service was impeccable. The staff went out of their way to make sure we felt comfortable and were more than happy to walk us through the menu, answering all our questions. The food was beyond exceptional—each dish was expertly prepared, bursting with fresh flavors, and presented beautifully. It was clear that the kitchen was already firing on all cylinders, and the attention to detail in every bite made the experience feel like a special occasion.
It’s rare to encounter a restaurant that not only delivers top-tier food and service but also shows such kindness and flexibility in an unexpected situation. I’m genuinely excited to return once they’re officially open because if this was just a "soft opening" of sorts, I can only imagine how incredible the full experience will be.
Overall, this impromptu visit turned out to be an unforgettable evening, and I’m grateful to the staff for going above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable time. Thank you Eric and Chef Stephan Pyles!! Highly recommend keeping an eye on this spot once they’re fully up and running—you’ll be in for a treat!
