    Lovely restaurant and service was great. I enjoyed the food but a majority of the dishes I ordered didn’t jump out as particularly special. I enjoyed the charred leeks dish the most. Great wine list and staff was very knowledgeable and helpful.

    Our server Kelly made our experience so wonderful. She patiently walked us through choosing a wine and several snacks and everything was delicious. The atmosphere was warm and romantic. We had a rough start to the year and were celebrating our anniversary late and it was a beautiful night. We will definitely be back.
