We believe a dinner over amazing food should be an experience that brings people together. The desire to produce lifelong memories over a meal comprised of locally sourced (when possible) seasonal ingredients coupled with an internationally recognized wine program rarely seen in the US - excites us. These delectable dishes that are meant to be shared with family and friends is the conduit for building fond memories. We long for our guests to feel welcomed and relaxed with a casual-elegance that shines long after the last forkful and interesting sips.

The food and service was excellent at the restaurant. Starters, main and desserts were all fantastic in both appearance and taste. Sitting outside was surprisingly better than indoors with the cozy fireplace and heaters ensuring a great overall experience. Definitely worth the visit. The Filet was a standout dish for me with the Key Lime Brûlée an excellent finisher to the meal.

Great patio seating and the service was very good. There were some very noisy college football fans who were a bit obnoxious—overly loud. Not the fault of Richardsons. Great place to have dinner with friends.
