"I liked the menu variety, organic and locally grown products was a plus. It was a bit pricey but overall, great dining experience and would definitely return to try other menu options."

"Excellent healthy, locally sourced options. Knowledgable waitstaff. Friendly service. It is a crowded restaurant, you should always have a reservation and expect a lot of ambient noise. Otherwise, the food is fabulous and its a nice experience to be there."

"We were glad we had reservations. It was very busy. Nice space, with a 'country club' feel and good energy. Inattentive service, at best. No offer of drink refills, no checking after our meal was delivered. Food was just OK. No parking available except for $5 valet. Waitress took our valet tickets out the valets when she brought our check, which I thought was nice. She didn't mention that they were bringing the cars up right away, and that they would be left running out front for 40 minutes as we visited over coffee."

"Too loud - your rating scale doesn't provide this option. We eat at home more now because so many restaurants are too noisy to have a conversation with yelling."
