    Tremendous experience. Attended Veterans dinner by invite. Was treated to a free meal along with sampling the an appetizer, some oysters and topping the evening off with cheesecake. Everything including the cocktails was excellent. There were no open tables but the staff was prompt and attentive and the food was all perfectly prepared and arrived to the table hot. We will be returning.

    The menu is well-balanced and invites the dining guest to savor a unique food in the Flower Mound area. There is no need to leave the suburbs to enjoy a great meal done by an experienced chef. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and their knowledge of their menu helps you make the right decisions for a great dining experience.

    My wife and I split a caprese salad, both of us had the sea bass, and then split the flourless chocolate cake for desert. Beau was our waiter and was attentive without being obtrusive. The food was outstanding and the service excellent.

    Hunter, our server was excellent. Our meal was very good. The only negative was an obnoxious patron nearby who was very loud drawing the attention of the rest of us. There is nothing a fine restaurant can do about that, but she should choose to restrict herself to sports bars.

    We were extremely disappointed to discover that halibut was removed from menu. We’ve enjoyed halibut here in previous visits and thought it was best dish ever. When we noticed that halibut was on the online menu on the website, she was so eager to have halibut for her birthday dinner. Staff was cordial. Manager offered an apology and an additional free dessert; but that simply didn’t make up for our disappointment. Our meal was adequate. Atmosphere was adequate-disappointing that patrons dressed so casually. Dessert-soufflés-was a disappointment. All in all, sorry to say that the meal/experience wasn’t worth the expense.

    Please accept our sincerest apologies that we did not have the halibut on your visit. We have to change out our menu occasionally due to the availability of products. We strive to serve the freshest product that we can get. We will never sell a frozen product and fresh Halibut season ends in September.

    Service was great as usual. The hostess needs some training. She refused to move from behind that hostess stand to seat folks waiting in line and not a word when people were leaving. Standing at the door and looking cute isn’t all a hostess should be doing. Food wasn’t near as great as usual except for the dessert. The crème brûlée was wonderful. My husbands food was cold - he ordered the seafood special that just hit the menu again.
