Incredible. The appetizer, the entrees and the desserts were flawless. The brussels sprouts were my favorite part of the short rib meal. Overall we loved the pork slider appetizer.

Great service. Food was delicious. Only suggestion is related to dessert. I ordered a banana tort as our server referred to it but it was just banana bread. Other than that everything was delightful and service was great.

Food was delicious, the scallop & shrimp skewers & butternut squash soup yum ! Entree the turkey dinner was on point & pork chop also a surprise hit. Only minor suggestion is for the ricotta cheesecake Apple pie dessert- to whip the ricotta a bit more & less crumb to the apple pie topping
