Love this place! Great food, great service, lovely location. We go here for special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, etc) and would go more often but a) it's expensive, and b) it's an hour plus drive for us. Still, we always look forward to going back.

Great food, however their wine prices are ridiculous. Bring you own bottle and get stuck with paying their $25 corkage fee. Better than paying their wine prices for mediocre wines. Sad when they try to make money off of their wine.

Phenomenal, in every way! The entire space is stunning, inviting, and so relaxing. Every member of the staff was so engaging and genuine. Our server, Meagan, was amazing. She was so helpful and always there if we needed something but gave us all the space and time to enjoy our experience without interruption. The cocktails were fantastic, perfectly balanced and delicious. The food was incredible! We had the sourdough bread, little gem salad, oysters and the duck. Would get every single item again, but none more so than the oysters. Absolutely unforgettable. Must order! We loved everything and can’t wait to return. Thank you, Meagan and the whole staff and chefs!!
