    I’ve been fortunate enough to be dining here for nearly twenty years and I’ve never had a meal fall short of amazing. Although on this particular visit there was a stand out staff member that really took my dining experience up a notch. Our server, Glenn, was an absolute goldmine of knowledge. He undoubtedly exceeded expectations for a server in fine dining. I can only hope he’s available when I visit again for Valentine’s Day!

    We went for lunch & shared charcuterie, cheese plate, & Trout Almondine. All were excellent. Our server, Makenzie, was delightful & attentive without being intrusive, and helpful with suggestions. The only negative was uncomfortable chairs. Otherwise, we had a lovely leisurely lunch.
