    The restaurant and staff are amazing. I don’t think there’s anything you could pick on the menu that would be a bad choice but my husband and I had the beef Wellington and the scallops and they were absolutely fantastic.

    I just realized that you can order off the brunch menu on a Saturday! I kept seeing French toast and crab cakes being spirited by my table!! Tried the beef tenderloin bits (delicious) Needed extra bread to sop up all the juice. I think this is the second time I ordered the charcuterie/cheese board(tasty) It would be nice to include a creamy goat cheese to compliment the hard cheeses. The banana pudding is out of this word…. And the cocktails….perfection.

    Had dinner in the “speakeasy” - a tiny room off the main dining area. It was quieter in there, no windows, no distractions! Only 4 tables for 2, so very intimate. As always, the owner came by to chat & help out the server. Nice guy! The food was really good! Perfectly cooked scallops, tender filet mignon, slightly spicy pasta. Had a Caesar salad big enough for 4! Wish there had been bread or rolls, but everything was fresh & good. Things are a little pricy, but it’s a great place for a special occasion.
