We had the beet salad, scallops, gnocchi, and beef Wellington. Each with unique and interesting ingredients and unexpected flavor combinations—like kimchi, apple pie filling and scallops. A combination that would make you shake your head and say no way, but it was so good! Best meal I’ve had in a long time. Wouldn’t change a thing accept to make the nice size portions bigger lol. My husband and I appropriately cleaned each plate with the wonderful bread. Highly recommend!

The food was amazing. We both had steaks and shared the crab legs. They were about the best crab legs I've ever had. Our wait person was great as was the bartender. This will be a regular on our visits.
