    Went to dinner with our whole family to celebrate a very special 18th birthday and college acceptance. Our server was wonderful and the food was delicious. The hot honey pizza and short ribs were faves amongst our group. The manager was also wonderful visiting with our group and was kind enough to treat us to a gorgeous dessert board that made the meal all the more special. 10 out of 10.

    The food was outstanding. This is a beautiful place that feels so cozy. It was an expensive date night but completely worth it. The stand out dishes for us were the baked shrimp, the sea bass, scallop risotto, and the toffee pudding. We weren't huge fans of our cocktails, but we'll try different ones next time. Thank you for the lovely food and service.
