    My first experience here was to celebrate my wife’s birthday and our expectations were more than fulfilled. Tasting menu was smooth and everyone made it a special night for us. Definitely looking forward to coming back. It’s hard to pinpoint my favorite part of the menu because it was all so amazing. The octopus skewer was a new experience for me but really blew us away.

    Very cool ambiance in an old hotel. Food was fresh, local and light. Probably the best negroni I've ever had. Servers were knowledgeable and friendly.

    Great location, beautiful building! Scott was our server and he helped us in our decision on the menu. The food was gloriously delicious and the service was impeccable. I would highly recommend to my friends! We split a salad, we also split the fish special, which was so yummy, and the ravioli w short ribs and the most creamy sauce! ! Scott assisted in paring the wine.
