We pluck fresh produce from our on-site 7,000- square-foot garden at Whisper Creek Farm.

    Last night my wife and I went here for dinner. Our server was Tyana and she was absolutely amazing. The food here is also incredible. If you’re looking for a slightly more expensive date night I couldn’t recommend a better place! Definitely coming back next time we are down here.

    Our starter of Harvest corn soup was delicious; the creamed soup was topped with corn relish and a few kernels of popcorn, which added a very different twist to the overall taste. We had scallops with pork belly and zaatar coated cobia, both of which were cooked to perfection. Dessert consisted of chocolate mousse, which was a “dry” version of mousse and a glass of house made limoncello, which unfortunately tasted more like lemon flavored water. We could have done without the mousse or the limoncello. The noise level was high in large part due to a family with children having dinner. The service was excellent! We would definitely return.

    Everything was soooo delicious! We ordered the mussels, the vegan rice cakes, chicken wings, and the bok choy for starters and everything was amazing! Entrées included the lobster, lamb, and the beef stew as well as the vegan noodles. I had a couple of picky eaters with me and they loved everything!
