Food was well prepared and elegantly presented. Wine list was vast. Each course both vegetarian and meat were balanced with interesting play of flavors. Dessert was not overly sweet perfect! French Press coffee finished the experience. Lovely!

The food, ambiance, service, and presentation were all outstanding. The only drawback was the $13 price for each of the two bottles of water. Tap water would have been a better option.

Our dining experience was magnificent. We enjoyed the New Years Day brunch and could not have been so impressed. The food selection was perfection, with an equally engaged staff. An absolute beautiful setting so tastefully decorated for the Christmas season. A noteworthy highlight was meeting Dannice. She is not only a gifted server but an extraordinary person. 5 ⭐️’s from us.
