Comfort, creative and professional is the entire F1rst experience at this gem of a restaurant. Chef Adam and team are at their top game with seasonal vegetables and meals that marry art and flavor. The grilled octopus was tender and a spring bouquet on the plate. A halibut filet with root vegetables provided alternating bites of flavorful crisp and tender moist - Just discovered a private room perfect for a gathering of 30!!

Amazing, delicious and creative menu. Outstanding quality, executed to perfection. I had the most divine, velvety carrot soup, followed by a wonderful seared halibut on an exquisite bed of root veggies. My husband’s appetizer and dinner were equally delicious. Chef Adam never disappoints. Can’t wait to go back and enjoy his upcoming Spring menu!

The food is exceptional. We love the mussels and calamari as shared appetizers. All of our dinner dishes were loved - halibut, pork chop, and duck. They were prepared to perfection and paired well with side vegetables.

Second time here and somehow I was more impressed than the first time! Appetizers Crispy Brie and Spicy Tuna Tartare were outstanding. The others dining with me raved about the New York Strip, Reserve Pork Chop, and Portobello Wellington. I may have had the best chicken dish I ever eaten: the Pan Roasted Chicken Marsala! The desserts were flawless. Thank you Chef Adam!!!
