    We went today to celebrate mine and my girlfriend birthday! Ambiance and service was great! We ordered three appetizers to share. The portions were good and food fresh but not outstanding and a little pricey which is not a problem but I think for the price point it should be just a notch above. But I would definitely go back and try and entree!
    Forgotten TonicResponded on 5 March 2025
    Donna, we’re so glad you chose to celebrate with us and that you enjoyed the ambiance and hospitality—James will be happy to hear it! We appreciate your feedback on the appetizers and pricing. We always strive to deliver an experience that matches expectations, and if anything ever feels off, we encourage guests to let us know in the moment so we can make it right. We’d love to have you back to try an entrée and hope to impress you next time!
