    I made a reservation for 6 and even an unexpected addition necessitating a table change didn't cause staff to blink. Our server was a wonderful gal named Gillian, she was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to our needs. She fielded many questions from our group and participated in the jolly atmosphere at our table, even helping us document the occasion by taking our photograph. The food was delicious, not one person in our group was disappointed with their meal. Burgers were picture perfect and well cooked, ribeye steak and salmon were both seasoned and cooked to perfection, and the short ribs were very tender. Every dish was very well put together! We were celebrating a birthday and we were on a strict timeline and the staff did all they could to ensure we were all taken care of and out the door with time to get to our next destination. No one left hungry or unhappy and every one of us plans to return. Thank you Gillian for a wonderful start to a wonderful night with friends!

    This is one of my go to restaurants for great food and environment. It never disappoints! Everything is delicious from the drinks to the food and especially the desserts. There’s always something new to try with the care they take to add seasonally relevant items to the menu. I always know that my favorites will be available and prepared perfectly every time. This is such a beautifully ran and decorated restaurant and perfect for any occasion and time of day. I always recommend it for people that are new to the metro area and I bring all my out of town guest. 10/10 for me and I will of course be back.
