We had a party of 8 before a show at the Acorn Center. They asked us at the start if we were attending a show so they could manage accordingly. Service was excellent and timely. Everyone was very happy with their meal.

Things have changed a bit. The wine list could use some serious improvement. It was beautiful from opening-2023. The lighting. It was bright and surgical in the back bar area. I loved that area, in particular, when it was dimly lit. It had a wonderful lounge like feel. Please spruce up the wine list (especially whites) and dim the lights. Thank you! Look forward to returning in a couple of weeks.

It was our 32nd anniversary and they gave us a private booth which is what we requested! They had the employees sign a card and wished us a happy anniversary. Our waiter was super and the manager was also! The food was amazing! We highly recommend this restaurant!

I ordered the pan-seared shrimp that came with polenta cakes which was not much food at all. My husband ordered the pork chop & Mac n cheese came with it. The chop was a decent size. We had ordered the Daily Bread appetizer which took about 20 minutes to come out. The service was poor & the food was just okay. Too pricey for what you get. Doubt if we will return in the future.
