    It’s magical from the moment you walk in. As you make your way up a gorgeous staircase displaying gilded frames & Grecian statues…. The aesthetic & beautiful RH furniture is definitely a show stopper. As you make your way to the top you are greeted with sweet hostesses and wine bars on either side of you. Food is amazing! We had artichoke & burrata appetizers. So delicious! I always order a cheeseburger, it’s so good! Their salads & rotisserie chicken are yum! Finished the night with the Bananas Foster dessert, it was outstanding!!

    I made reservations. I chose this restaurant because none of my guests had eaten here before and to celebrate a friend's 91st birthday. for a friend. When I made the reservations I requested a table overlooking the nursery. There was no wait when we arrived. They accommodated us with a table I requested. The overall service was excellent. The waitress, Becca was pleasant, knowledgeable about the menu, and very attentive. She came back several times during our lunch to make sure everything was okay and to see if we needed anything. Everyone raved about the food. Three or us ordered the tuna sandwich and one ordered the burger. It was all excellent. Remembering we were there to celebrate a birthday, Becca brought out a complimentary dessert with a candle. The whole experience for me and my guests couldn't have been better. We will definitely be returning and bringing more friends.

    Ambience was great (we sat on the patio, there were heaters and a fire pit), our server Jenny was delightful, and the food, both presentation and taste, was wonderful! (We had the truffle fries, steak & tuna sushi, and the molton lava cake.) The patio wasn’t very busy, as it was a Monday night. Everything was top notch, right down to the glass of champagne when we arrived! Love that! We’ll definitely come back again!

    Superb food and service. We had Short Ribs pappardelle and chicken schnitzel spätzle. Rib meat is not all lean but with a lil fat makes it melt in your mouth tender. Pasta def. made fresh since it absorbed all the beef sauce and butter and cheese. Chicken cutlet still moist inside and spätzle tossed with fresh vege made for a simple tasty side. All the staff are efficient- great teamwork
