    Had the nicest dinner on a December night…heat lamps, roaring fireplace, and lap blankets made it cozy and toasty on the patio. Had a couple of excellent cocktails, and the middle eastern appetizers were delicious…great hummus, and I’m a hummus snob! Just a thoroughly pleasant evening, and dogs are welcome on the patio! 🍷

    Everything was excellent except the pork chop was very hard to cut with a knife. However, it was fairly easy to chew and very tasty.

    We enjoyed the flaming cheese, bread and hummus with an excellent bottle of Bordeaux. Kudos to the new chef! We were seated in front of a crackling fire in a beautifully decorated holiday setting, with entertainment from Doug Ramsay...doesn't get much better than this!

    The ambiance in this restaurant was amazing with multiple fireplaces that were lit, high ceilings with exposed wood beams, and beautifully grand seasonal decorations throughout the place. There were several small sitting areas for dinner near the bar in addition to the larger dining room with baby grand piano in the center and outdoor dining spaces with heaters and an additional fireplace. We were told that the owners are actively seeking a pianist to play in the main dining room during meals on certain nights which will further add to the amazing atmosphere. Our waitress Summer took care of us and told us that the restaurant had had a change in multiple key personnel (including the chef) on the very day that we visited with the flow of the evening notably impacted. We found the food to be significantly less than expected at such a beautiful place but were told that the new chef had not received many of the ingredients he needed for his dishes which required a lot of "punting" with use of "what was available" on the part of the chef and staff on the first night. The overall staff willingly sought to please the guests and requested input for improvement of the situation with their overall attitudes very good in spite of what was most likely a stressful situation for them. We will definitely return as the food should improve to match the ambiance once the new chef and staff have the time to acclimate to this beautiful place.

    I am not reviewing for 10/20. We were at this restaurant last night (11/15) with friends and I can honestly say we will not be going again until they change their menu. No side salads, very little apps to choose from, not much to pick from entree wise. VERY disappointed.

    Brandon is an awesome server and was very helpful in making entree decisions. We had the special….short ribs with mashed potatoes, broccolini and puréed carrots….and southern clam chowder and Caesar salad with an ice cold porter in frosted glass. Can you say YUM? The place is decorated so creatively for every holiday. This has become our new favorite place.

    Loved the Halloween decorations - so much fun! This restaurant is in a beautiful building that has housed at least two other restaurants in the past. Hope this one stays open. The food was very good, as were the cocktails. The wine list was more than adequate. The mascarpone blueberry cake was light and Lucious! Our young server needs a little more experience to be among the best, but she was friendly and got all of our orders right. It was a delightful dining experience.
