The food is okay but there is room for improvement. Charcuterie board can include more meat varieties (now only sausages) and have the cheeses cut.The menu is also VERY limited by the time we visited (May 27th). I don’t think it’s worth the price and their environment, though. Please consider expand the menu and bring back some past dishes.The salmon was the highlight of our meal and well as the tiramisu.

Our server was excellent but our dinner was a disappointment. Half of us were served food that was barely warm. The coffee was even cooler. We were charged $6 for small squares of toasted bread. The ultimate chocolate cake was not even completely chocolate.

Just had Easter Brunch. Nice atmosphere. We had 2:30 reservations and they were out of Prime Rib. Reservations were required and there was two more hours of serving. A bit dissappointed

Amazing experience, the waitstaff was quick and attentive. The food was outstanding. I will recommend the Buffalo cauliflower as an appetizer, it will not disappoint! Their wine selection is very nice with a good selection of local wines. The price is also decent although not an every week price for the average person. Overall amazing experience!

Food was good and a little unique. Service was so so. They didn’t seem to really know any details about the menu and were slow to get and refill drinks. I believe a mistake was made with the one pasta dish I mention below. I just expected a more competent staff here.Food wise: The Buffalo cauliflower was very memorable and good. The soup special I had was also incredible. The members of my party that got the short ribs kept raving about it. Their portion was huge. All portions seemed good except one pasta dish that was ordered. It was literally half the size, don’t smaller, than everyone else’s dish. I’ve never questioned a dish portion before, but we felt we needed to ask the waiter about the portion. He said it was normal but I really doubt that. I think a mistake was made. The waiter brought out a new dish pretty quickly for us that was a “double portion”. This new dish was a different color! And had vegetables in it that were missing in the first dish. Very very strange. But awesome that they did correct this quickly.Price is a little higher than I am used to but I think is very fair for the area and ambiance.

I've had 2 good meals here previously. Tonight was a totally different experience. I paid $42 for a piece of prime rib that was so overcooked, it was inedible. Asked for a rarer slice, but the chef didn't have any. Happy dog though!

Prompt and courteous service with a very nice atmosphere. Food was high quality. Recommend the color-changing mood-a-rita cocktail.Minor area of improvement: We were not informed of specials by our sever and had to rely on listening to a different server inform another table

Very calm and relaxed atmosphere. There ambiance is perfect for a date night or dinner with a small group of friends. The food and drink menu is a bit limited. I really enjoyed the drink and shrimp and grits meal. The dessert was awesome too! All of the staff that I encountered were lively and friendly. Food portions vary drastically and they close very early.

Had a fantastic meal. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Food was great and portions big. You must have the buffalo cauliflower--amazing! Four in our party--two had fish--both came with ample fillets and a ton of veggies. I got the harvest veg platter with a side of seared shrimp--the flavors were divine and had to take more than half home, I was so full. Excellent meal all around. We will be back!

Love the atmosphere. Friendly staff and the desserts are amazing.
