My husband and I are always on the lookout for new restaurants to try. I saw this little place out of the corner of my eye... driving down main street yesterday and we decided to make reservations for dinner. The atmosphere is clean and cozy. Soft musicand lighting paired with comfortable seating. Extensive wine list and delicious Cosmopolitans! The staff was cheerful,knowledgeable and on top of their game. The food was impeccable. I had the oysters which came with the most delicious dippingsauce, paired with the lamb lollipops which were cooked to perfection. My husband had a wedge salad with the catch of the day(halibut yesterday) and the brussel sprouts. If you want the bread, make sure to add the truffle butter! So delectable, I couldhave eaten that by itself! This place is well worth thr trip if you're in the area! We have discovered a new favorite! Read more

Wonderful service and food! Our waitress Mackenzie was attentive and kind. Everything from the bread, to the drinks, to the... steak was incredible. It was the most tender steak I?ve ever had! Definitely planning on coming back in the near future. Read more

First off people don?t know how to properly review and use Googles beta description. It?s how much did you spend per person, not... how much did you spend on your date/outing with group. So if your bill is $100 what?s 50% of that, right, easy enough. Secondlyit?s small plates. Here?s how to do it if you have never been to a place like this before. They bring you a wine and drink menu,you order that first. They will let you know the specials, and give you the food menu everything is small plates so that beingsaid order a soup and salad for your first course and you and your date choose 3 different items on the menu. They will bringyou a small clean plate, and my that time your soup or salad, when you finish that the first small plate will come, right as youfinish the second will come followed by the last. Napkin goes in your lap folks it?s not a BBQ joint. 3rd: There is not a dresscode on the door but if it?s summer time dress like you are going golfing and if it?s winter dress like you are going to Sundaynight church, comfortable but still nice, it?s okay to wear a sports jacket too, you won?t stand out. The staff was wonderful,the food was delicious, service was amazing, and it?s definitely one of the nicest places in town. I?m not from or live inSalisbury but was visiting family. For this town it?s a step up from all the BBQ joint, fast food restaurants, and family stylehouses, but it?s good that there is something nice in that town. Also this isn?t a place for takeout, a place you ask if y?allhave coke products, showing up at 9pm without reservations etc, I read all the negative reviews and came to the conclusion thatthose people are mainly stupid, dumb, or didn?t know better and are embarrassed so they gave the place a 1 star instead of goingon down the road and picking up their fast food normals. Oh, almost forgot, make reservations, takes like 5 seconds and youshould be able to do it from google or their website directly. Read more

We love the place. Nicely lite and friendly staff. The food is delicious. The bread with the truffle butter is DELICIOUS. The... food is just AWESOME. Once you enter the place, you transformed to another world. Come and experience it for yourself.. Read more

We decided to try this restaurant for our Anniversary. And, what a great decision it turned out to be! The atmosphere, service... and food were fantastic! Special shout out for Zoe our server?. She was one of the best servers we?ve ever had, and we havebeen to many fine dining restaurants all over the U.S. They even gave us an anniversary card from the staff at the end ofdinner? special touches make a big difference. Thank you so much for making our day special, we will definitely be back. Read more

We went for the first time tonight and I was exactly what I hoped for. I had the duck and it was very comparable to restaraunts... of similar class. I am very glad Salisbury finally has a classy place to eat. Prices are as expected for high quality and notover priced. We have long awaited such a place. Service was outstanding and we will be frequenting for sure!! Thank you! Read more

Some people are saying it?s too expensive & fancy for Salisbury. This isn?t some raggedy steak house with 5 mega freezers that... does to- go orders that the citizens of Salisbury are used to. This is an establishment that appreciates fresh food/ ingredients& actually embodies the culture & art of REAL fine dining. The duck I ordered was cooked PERFECTLY. The sauce it came with wassweet for the first 2 seconds and then reduced to a mellow, buttery taste. That chef has talent. I?ve heard Salisbury peoplecall Olive Garden fine dining, that pretty much sums up the people here. This town needs culture, & this place is perfect tointroduce that type of education needed here.
