To complement the experience, we offer a curated selection of wines from around the world, focusing on small producers, along with a rotating list of craft beers and a playful cocktail menu crafted by our bartenders. The ever-changing menu, driven by locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, features favorites like sautéed green beans, roasted oysters, crispy short ribs, and confit goat belly.

Food was amazing but the pacing of the meal was really poor. Long wait to place food order and then the food came out really quickly. We had planned to order a bottle of wine but by the time our waiter checked on us, most of our plates had already come out so we each got a glass of wine instead. A fine dining experience shouldn’t be wrapped up in 45 minutes. His food recommendations were very good, however.
