So sad that this place is closing. But it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Best of luck to Danielle on her retirement from the restaurant business!!

We had a great birthday dinner. It was able to accommodate both the meat and vegan eater with ease. The chef/owner was wonderful. Wish I lived closer so that I could be a regular.

I saw on Instagram from a famous blogger and the food was so good but if you’re used to finer pallet type food, you really love the menu but if you’re looking for like a value packed meal, this probably isn’t the place for you. I think it’s a great experience for or if you’re really a foodie, I love the menu and I would definitely check it out once the menu changes but this couldn’t be my regular spot because it doesn’t fit my wallet size
