    Great place to share dinner with friends! The bleu cheese chips and calamari were both tasty! I had the triple deli g (or something like that) and was very pleased. Others had the salmon and the pork chop…. All were satisfied. Certainly recommend … got them a try!

    Celebrated our 2 year anniversary last night! Service was fantastic, cozy atmosphere, and a cute card signed by the staff. I tried a new pasta dish, and my husband got a steak! Both were excellent. Highly recommend the margarita but make it Italian! New favorite drink. Best part, dessert! We tried 2 of the seasonal desserts: pumpkin praline cheesecake and egg nog pot de crème were TO DIE FOR!!! Highly recommend for a special occasion, date night, or quick happy hour at the bar! Definitely our go to restaurant in Waco!!

    Appetizers were delicious, but the chicken picatta lacked flavor and was very dry. The bolognese was very dry and not saucy, the Brussels sprouts were burned on the outside and raw in the middle…but my husband’s mushroom stuffed ravioli were delicious. Next time we’re going to have all appetizers!

    Sadly we did not have the best experience. My quiche was under cooked and my sons waffles did not come out until we were paying the bill. My husband liked his eggs Benedict and my other son liked his Alvacado toast. We were celebrating a birthday and they did not allow us to use the cake we had brought. I had high hopes for this and was planning to have a graduation party at this restaurant. The restaurant is beautiful.

Had a reservation for a busy Friday evening and had no real issues. Waitress was helpful in answering questions about food and beverages. Food was delicious and portions were very generous

    What a truly one-of-a-kind Waco gem this place is. The food is delicious, the ambiance is modern but cozy, and the service is impeccable. The owners went out of their way to accommodate a special birthday dinner for us — even bringing hand picked flowers from their garden to our table. Great food - great service - great people. What’s not to love!
