    If you're in the market to treat yourself, this is a great restaurant for that. The service was top notch and the food was excellent. We were a bit surprised about the price of some things though, i.e. a glass of Prosecco cost $20. I wouldn't have got it, had I known the price but we were there to celebrate our anniversary, so 'when in Rome!' Overall, very comfortable setting and we may return one day, maybe next year.

    Appetizer and dessert were delicious, mains were just average. If you’re selling craft beer on tap and you are out of three of them, especially the one the customer orders, who doesn’t offer a taste sample if the one you’re suggesting?

    The food was exceptional. We went to the Epicurean on Monday without a reservation - we returned on Wednesday evening with a reservation.. nothing equals the service and quality of food to this restaurant. I absolutely enjoyed everything . The service was friendly, exceptional waitress on Monday evening the 21st ! so friendly and efficient, and overall great service at this restaurant. Chef is amazing! Would eat dinner at this restaurant every evening of our holidays!

    Everything eas perfect, except for the markup on the wines: a $35 local winery bottle sold for $100 is exaggerated!

    Our waiter was wonderful. We had a dietary restriction and he was so helpful. He had great recommendations and the food was outstanding. Looking forward to our next visit.

    We were here for lunch for my daughter’s birthday. Our server was excellent, very knowledgeable about menu recommendations and wine selection, also very personable. Ended with a slice of chocolate cake, complete with candle and an accompaniment with other staff to sing happy birthday. A very tasty and enjoyable experience!
