    Terrance, our server, was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and super easy going, his lovely personality made our dining experience delightful. It was my Mom’s first time dining here and she was very impressed with the food and with the service, she’s asked that we come back for her birthday and we hope Terrance will be there that day for us! Thanks for a great evening!

    Amazing prefix menu for valentine’s Day , the best I’ve ever had! I’m not a fan of duck but really enjoyed my husband’s that he ordered which is saying something and he said it’s the best duck he has ever had! I’ve had many meals here but I think this may have been the best! We did the wine pairing which was perfect as well!

    We dined on Valentines evening which had a special menu. We had been there on 3 previous occasions with the regular menu. The Valentines menu was only so-so for a high end price. Chocolate flavor of desserts was lacking. Potato salad course only average. Pasta entree didn't have much flavor. Duck was great. Empanadas were excellent. Not worth the price in my opinion
