Everything was delicious and fresh. We tried a couple of appetizers including the prosciutto bruschetta which was personally my favorite. The sea scallop entree was also amazing; the sweet flavors of the squash pair well the subtle seafood flavor of the scallops - Your favorite white wine would do well along side the scallops. Also, our server, Chris was amazing. His energy and approachability allowed for a fun and easy night.

My husband and I went for a 5-course pre fixe dinner with wine pairing. They had the wine makers there and prior to each course they described each wine and how it paired with the meal. It was a really enjoyable date night.
