Wonderful experience. Delicious oysters and tuna tartare. The chicken and risotto never miss. And the smoothest peanut butter pie. 10/10.

Perfection as always. Our server, Thomas, encouraged me to order the seabass instead of my usual halibut -- and I am SO glad that I did. One of the best restaurants in Western New York, hands down.
