    We had a wonderful experience with August, ordering the 3 course meal for an anniversary dinner. Everything came out amazing, and the chef walked us through some of his work on the main course, including an additional, experimental plate he was proud to have us try that night. The additional plate was an amazing pasta dish complemented with trout roe. It was the best dish of the night! We’ll definitely be back!
