                                                    Great date night spot! We had the 3 course chef’s tasting menu which was perfect. Justin was very helpful in the wine market and we loved being able to pick out a bottle and bring it to our table.

                                                    we had a marvelous time at the restaurant last night. There were four of us, and we were there for a family birthday. From the time we entered until the time we left, we felt welcomed and taken care of! The service was outstanding and the food was delicious. Very quiet and relaxed atmosphere, with a very interesting decor. Can highly recommend it!

The food was great as well and very appropriately priced. We intend to go back in the near future to see what else is great on the menu.

                                                    Our meal was good yesterday evening, the plum creek farm chicken was nothing special but chicken was cooked well, the vegetables definitely have room to be elevated (though they were sort of bland). Compliments to a well cooked burger, however was never asked the temperature I would like the meat cooked which I thought is a typical question asked. Very good utilization of the dining space. Overall, has room to be improved food-wise and has a lot of potential to be an even better restaurant.

                                                    Our experience started with a restaurant with bright lights reducing any upscale ambience. Our disappointment came with the menu being completely different than what was published online. More confusion came when ordering a sweetbread appetizer that was actually veal with nothing in the menu notating it wasn’t actually bread. It was described as cheese, cream and vegetables. Another issue we had was the server suggesting a Syrah with the cassoulet when there was no Syrah on the wine list and she said the Bordeaux was their Syrah. Two different grapes from two different regions. Overall the experience was not up to par, although the food was good and the server was nice. I wouldn’t recommend based on the lack of accurate communication.
