    Brought our daughter for her birthday celebration. Taylor was our server and was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. Our daughter has a gluten sensitivity. All of our meals were excellent.

    The large room to the left of the entrance was extremely sunny. Half of the diners (of 9) had to wear sunglasses throughout our time there. This needs to be addressed as it was very uncomfortable for those facing the sun. In summer, it becomes very very warm. Consider some sort of window coverings. Over all, our meals were outstanding. Everyone enjoyed their choice. Our waitress was a bit slow, and the promised bread never arrived, while we waited quite a while for our meals. Then one of our party went to remind the waitress about the bread, but it arrived just as our meals were being served. And there was no dipping oil available today. Today was a pointed example of how important a server is to the enjoyment of a meal. Sadly, our favorite server was not available. He was sorely missed! Over all, the food here never disappoints!

    Christmas Eve dinner. Festive, lively atmosphere without being too loud for easy conversation. Service was excellent, beginning with the accommodation of a late addition guest. Staff was there for every need and question yet never made us feel rushed—even though our meal went past closing. I expected great food and was not disappointed. Oysters were particularly good and French-pressed coffee always adds a great finishing touch. My teenagers had a great time and have a new appreciation for real food. Highly recommend.
