We love this place- a nice hidden gem in downtown WC. We love sitting at the bar and Lucas is great- very knowledgeable and an experienced bartender. They had a three course prefix for Valentines Day which was a little pricey but delicious nonetheless. We just wish they still offered their delicious homemade bread during the prefix. One of our favorite date night locations- we’ll be back!

Highly knowledgeable and professional waitstaff, perfectly prepared entrées and sides, resulting in an excellent dining experience. An early dinner reservation with fewer filled tables reduces the reverberant noise, allowing one to better hear dining companions.

Great place for lunch. Exceptional food and service. Prices are on the higher side and in winter you get a blast of cold air whenever someone opens the door to come in. This is a place I keep going back to. Reliably good.
