Warm welcome by the owner and staff, impeccable service throughout and excellent food! This was my second visit and I enjoyed even more. The menu is interesting and creative including the desserts. My pork chop was amazing as well as the pistachio creme brûlée. The rest of my party also loved their choices. Will definitely become a regular here.

I was hesitant at first with this being attached to a hotel, but the food was exquisite--perfect for a date night or an above average cost for dinner. The burrata was out of this world and the lobster roll had a hidden mayo/lemon combo that had me tossing up my hands with excitement. My wife had the Salmon over a pumpkin and curry squash that was EASILY the star of the show. We both left planning for when we could make the drive back for another meal. Highly recommended.
