Beyond amazing. Sharon was the best server ever. She made the experience memorable. Food was outstanding and did not disappoint. The butternut squash soup with marshmallows was decadent. The squash pasta was even better. The boots with the fir warmed me up on a cold night. Key lime pie was the best I've had in a while!

The food was really good but incredibly rich. I feel like they need a better balance of things that are rich and then light such as more salads for light vegetables setting and interior decorating was very cute but the chairs made absolutely zero sense. It was like sitting in someone’s living room the chairs were so low sunken Table above your chest, which was absolutely bizarre. Jonathan was so sweet but clearly overworked we saw a manager walking around multiple times and never once came over to ask how we were doing in our team dress when we asked where the bathrooms were.

Amazing as always. So nice to be able to go into a restaurant with someone who can’t handle gluten and NOT worry about them being able to order something tasty. Perfection - will always consider this for amazing dinners.
