    My friends and I had an exceptional dining experience here, and we were thrilled with every aspect of our meal. The decor and ambiance struck the perfect balance between romantic and classy, creating an inviting atmosphere. We were particularly impressed with the extensive wine list and chose a Napa Valley Cabernet, which was perfect. The food exceeded our expectations, showcasing thoughtful ingredients and masterful preparation. The tomahawk steak, with its beautifully charred exterior and tender, flavorful marbling, was a true standout. We couldn’t resist trying a pasta dish and were delighted by the rigatoni with sausage—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. For sides, we shared the creamed spinach and mac and cheese, both of which were incredibly well-executed and far from ordinary. To top it all off, the sugar brownie was the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. Whether you’re planning a night out with friends or looking for the perfect spot for a date, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. It’s a night to remember!

    What a wonderful experience. I work in the restaurant industry, I rarely have a Saturday Night off to experience the other side of the dining experience and let me tell you it was superb. I made a note on my reservation saying my boyfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and we started off the night with a toast of complimentary Prosecco on the house. We also Indulged in the crabcake appetizer, as well as the duck cassoulet that was phenomenal. On Saturday evenings, they offer a château Briand for two for 135 and couldn’t pass up that deal. The martini cart girl was a pleasant surprise as well as the presentation of their bread service with a sharp quick steak knife stabbed through it on the table. Their wine selection by the glass as well as splits and full bottles complemented their level of professionalism and service. We definitely splurge that evening to celebrate, and we look forward to coming back on just a regular evening for dinner in the near future. Thank You
