Beautiful restaurant with friendly service. Food very average - frozen fries with steak frites, canned corn in succotash, risotto swimming in broth, etc. Hopeful that these are still early execution issues as there is clearly an opportunity for a fine dining restaurant in Clayton with Fortify shutting down (which we sorely miss).

Our experience did not start out well as the reservation we requested in the main dining room was not honored and we wound up sitting at a high top in the bar beside the server station. No explanation why and no apology for not honoring our request. Our server, Chris, did an excellent job and was very attentive. Food was good but quiche serving was small relative to the price. Breakfast sandwich was excellent. Overall, the service and food helped turn around our initial impressions.
