This was a nice place. Friendly staff. Clean place, clean bar. It was a pricey place to eat. I had an 8 oz tenderloin and it was nearly fifty dollars. I am always ready to try steak at a new place, but not so sure I would order it again because it didn't have a lot of taste or lack seasoning. But it was very tender. I would try this place again, when I have more time.
Visited while in town for a race, the menu looked really good, so figured we couldn't go wrong. However, we waited a long time just to order, then when we got our food, it was pretty underwhelming for the price. The bruchetta is actually just cheese bread with tomatos and I ordered the burger without bacon and it arrived with bacon. So overall, wishing we had gone somewhere else.
My husband and I called ahead and made a reservation, so we didn't have to wait to be seated. We went in December, so the place was decorated for Christmas and it was super cute! The service was great - even though it wasn't on the menu, the bartender still made me an Irish coffee, which was exactly what I wanted coming in from the cold. The only reason I'm giving this place four stars on the food is because, though it was definitely good, it wasn't the best I've had, particularly for the price. The place isn't affordable enough to go all the time, but I'd still recommend checking it out, at least once. If you're a big seafood person, like my husband is, you'll probably like it even more than I did.
Food was expensive for what you get. Pastas are not served with salad or bread. Pasta should be served with at least bread. Food was very good, but be aware of pricing.
Was there to celebrate my birthday at the end of May. This restaurant is simply incredible. From the moment I walked in it was wonderful, the bartender and wait staff were wonderful. And the owner made it a point to join us after for a drink and celebrate. To me it was the perfect experience. 10/10 recommend to anyone!
Delicious food and great atmosphere. We dined outside and it was beautiful! Erin was our server and she was very friendly plus helpful with any questions we had. The chocolate cake is AMAZING!!!
The atmosphere was casual and inviting. The varied menu made it hard to choose which meal to try. The Chicken and artichoke was fabulous, reasonable...made you want to lick the plate! Dessert of Peach Berry Crisp was the perfect finish. Hardworking staff during trying times is to be commended. Bravo!
Excellent food and place. Everything tatsed great and was perfectly cooked, Fish and beef! The only reason not to give a 5 stars review is because my wife received her plate once my daughter and I were done.
