A wonderful team providing a great experience as we experienced the tasting menu with wine pairings. The food I’ve had off the regular menu before were better than the tasting menu, but by no means does that mean the tasting menu wasn’t worth a try! The staff and service here is award worthy, however I would recommend the same runners presenting the tasting menu each course.

It was a great experience overall! The food quality and serving sides were fantastic. The environment was great...the waitstaff was attentive and helpful. Slightly on the pricey side, but certainly not unreasonable...definitely reasonable for the value and portions. We loved it!
