We went there for my mother's birthday and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. We were a party of four everybody got... something different everybody was blown away with the preparation, taste, and portion size (portion size was bigger than mostrestaurants of this caliber, I wouldn't call them huge but it was enough to give you a good meal) I had the duck and it was, Ikid you not, the best duck I have ever had! My wife had the shrimp and my Mom had the Chicken francaise and she said it wasfabulous. And the service was incredible, I highly recommend this place! Read more
Great service but definitely need a reservation to sit inside. The mexican eggs Benedict with potatoes was delicious with the... mimosa. Will return and explore the menu some more. Read more
Very nice and elegant restaurant. Our waiter was super. My wife enjoyed the fillet while I had the ciopino. We both like the... pate appetizer of which we received a large portion but the mozzarella schnitzel was so so. The highlight was the hummingbirdcake desert which we strongly recommend. Only negative was that the happy hour drinks were only valid at the bar ???? Read more
Pastry chefs like this are really hard to find. The espresso martini is as good as they get too. I can't wait to return for full... dinner. This restaurant group is seriously legit and what hits differently for me, with many years in Hospitality leadership, isseeing and hearing the team deliver great service and speak highly of one another internally and of sister properties.

Great local spot with an upscale feel. Wide variety of choices including an excellent Osso Buco. Was our second annual visit... while vacationing in the area and we plan to return again. Wait staff was attentive but unobtrusive. Loved how the meal endedwith a lovely dark chocolate bite for each member of the party. Easy to find parking near by. Fun atmosphere and goodexperience!

The place was great looking on the outside and inside. I was looking for fine dining place to go to for our anniversary and I... came across this place, the pictures looked amazing. I had the duck and my girlfriend had the chicken, my duck was great forportion size for fine dining it was more than I expected. But the sauce on the duck is what saved it and the potato’s, Ididn’t even get to my bok Choi. My girlfriend said her chicken was dry and sure enough it was and there was to much oregano onthe chicken and made it even more dry. She like the additional stuff with chicken. I felt like I could have made both dishes athome, I have had better fine dining services, but this is my girlfriend’s first fine dining experience and she wasn’timpressed at all. Read more
