Incredible food, we had the focaccia, lamb ribs, and beets/squash apps. The whipped ricotta and focaccia was the standout of the three. Wife had scallops and I had the cauliflower entree. Both were phenomenal. Kids meals were generouslt portioned and a good value. Wife had the Sazerac and Revolver cocktails, enjoyed both. Server was attentive and timely and provided thoughtful recommendations. Had the brownie sundae and apple crisp desserts. The chocolate mousse with the sundae is not a traditional execution but the dish was well balanced. Wife favored the apple crisp. Prices were extremely fair for the locale and segment
