Food and service were fantastic. I got the chance to speak with the sommelier regarding what to pair with each of the courses, which was amazing. The food was delicious. I did the classic tasting, which gives you the opportunity to try the chefs specials.

Overall, this was a good experience. We had the duck and filet mignon, both of which were cooked to our liking. Also had the stuffed baked potato, which was huge. If you’re a carnivore you should add this restaurant to your list.
