A cozy ambiance made me feel at home. Our server was jovial and personable without being over-present. The wilted brussel sprout salad was a delectable starter. We both enjoyed our drinks, an amazing wine selection that would impress a connoisseur and of course our main dishes delighted our palettes. Reasonable prices for a fine dining experience. Noise level was ever so low and we conversed with ease. I look forward to our next visit!

Lovely drinks (spicy marg🔥) + food + vibes + service!

One of the best meals I’ve had in a while! We started with a lemon basil salad, and to drink we had a White Peach Sangria and an Apple Cider Spritz. For dinner my husband had the Mediterranean Chicken, with a side of the soup of the day (Southwest Beef & Veggie) and heirloom carrots. Tasty and huge portions. I had the special, which was a halibut served over mashed potatoes and delicious crab bisque—it was out of this world!! The special also came with two sides, I chose the whipped sweet potatoes and the corn pudding, both yummy. Cozy, romantic atmosphere, and phenomenal service!
