    Our server Adam was excellent. The calamari and bib salad were excellent. Had the steak. Was just ok. The acorn squash was delish but only after I poured out all the butter and brown sugar puddle in the middle. Will be back but will know to order sauces in the side

    Ate in the East Dining wing and it was great. Less noise and wonderful service! Food was delicious. We had trout, branzino, and lamb and everyone enjoyed their selections. Highly recommend!

    We had a wonderful dining experience! The valet was friendly! Our hostess was great! The server and the manager were wonderful! Our food took a bit longer that usual but our server and the manager kept us informed and apologized profusely. We enjoyed the food and the wait was fine especially since they acknowledged the wait and apologized. This is five star customer service which is so rare these days!

    It was my first time to try this restaurant. I was in town for a business dinner and it was recommended by my client. The restaurant was a great place to conduct business. The noise level was low and our server knew when to interject without being obtrusive. The food was fantastic. I recommend starting with the baked goat cheese appetizer. I had a delicious Caesar salad followed by the salmon. Both were great, the salmon was cooked perfect and accompanied by the best butternut squash I’ve ever eaten (don’t tell my mother-in-law). I highly recommend this restaurant and I will be back when I’m in the area next.

    The food was amazing. Everything was excellent. They accommodated my seasoning preferences and low sodium needs. Even with this, the food was flavorful.
