This was our favorite special occasion restaurant for many years (with the previous owner/chef). Even though the place looks the same, the service was not as professional as you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. One thing that was disappointing was that each course was brought a little too quickly. In order to really enjoy each of the four courses, we should have been given a little more time in between each course. We were finished and out the door in less than two hours.

Wonderful experience doing the 4 course meal (with the Wagyu special and adding seared foie gras) during NYE. Service was attentive and friendly, portions were perfect. Look forward to the new menu coming later this month for another visit!

The 4- course meal we had was excellent. Not too much to leave you bloated. A great romantic place to eat and you don’t have to make a lot of decisions.
