    From the time we entered, we felt relaxed and taken care of. The dining room was intimate and the tables were spread apart nicely. Everything we ate was delicious-bruschetta, Etch salad, filet, and venison (my husband). The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They knew we weee attending a show at Bridgestone, so they paced appropriately. The price is a little higher ($50 for a filet), but we never felt anyone was trying to upscale us. I highly recommend for a date night or special occasion.

    Extraordinary in the very best way. Each course a single (or maybe two) bite of wonder. The only bobble we had was a misstep re a dairy request which was quickly offered a redo. Perfect service, nice wine list, intimate setting where conversation is possible. A unique experience that we can’t wait to try again.
