    What a wonderful experience we had at your restaurant. The food is top notch, the service fantastic (Amanda, you rock), and the atmosphere is chique and warm. I recommend getting a seat in front of the kitchen and watching them work! It's mesmerizing! We were there on Nov 15 and had a fantastic time. The goat cheese ravioli was so rich in flavor. The Tuna Sashimi was amazing. The honeydew sauce that went with it was a pairing that I have never had and I'm so glad I chose it. The Duck Margaret and Braised short ribs were so tender. The bread pudding and that dollop of chocolate deliciousness on it was to die for. The Drinks were fantastic. Definitely getting another f-in bon Negroni next time I come. Thanks for a great night ❤️
