Food was great. My wife had the vegetarian menu and I have the regular menu and we shared it was almost too much food but we enjoyed every morsel would definitely come back again even though we’re from FridayHarbor, Washington San Juan Island. We think the food was very creative and delicious.

The food and drinks were all excellent, as expected. We had a server, Ezra, who was new to the restaurant, and I want to commend him. He was very polite, super friendly and attentive. We never had to wait for anything.

Starting off- Darius is a 10/10 server. Today he was training a new server, and it doesn’t surprise me he is the trainer for them. Darius alone makes an unforgettable experience. Today we were celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday. Food was great but had the occasional fatty pieces of meat. Highly suggest doing coq au vin to cook your food in, perfect for all things. Darius helped give great suggestions and made sure everything we had tasted great. Would come again!

Great food. Awesome wait staff. Only feedback is that the pizza was a bit undercooked and soggy in the middle. Which is typical of Italian pizza. But when you’re used to American pizza it’s a change.
