We had a wonderful outdoor dining experience here with an attentive server and excellent food. The only negative on the food was that the Greek salad was advertised as having olives and it had none because the restaurant was out of olives. We could’ve been told that at the time we placed our order. The portion size was Substantial. With the temperature in the upper 70s, it was a perfect evening to dine outdoors.

Service is spot on without being pretentious. Food is amazing and the flavors are so well balanced. The chocolate course brought back fond memories of my mom’s kitchen when she made brownies and we kids scooped up the chocolate left in the mixing bowl. And the wine pairings are well balanced with the various courses. Well done. Highly recommend.
