The food is incredible, and the service is top notch. I couldn’t have had a better birthday dinner. I even received a birthday card with the day’s menu and a candle for the occasion, which were such nice touches. This restaurant focuses on the details. I had a wonderful time with my family.

This place is phenomenal! I'd been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, and finally going the week they received their Michelin star made the whole experience even more special. The food was absolutely amazing, and having opted for the wine pairing as well, made each course that much more divine. We started in the smaller side room which was great for conversation, but - due to timing issues that were our fault - we moved to the main room for the dessert course and got to enjoy seeing the kitchen in action. The entire staff was warm, welcoming and just the right amount of attentive; it was clear they wanted to ensure the dining experience would be looked back on fondly. I can't recommend this place enough.

Food was very good. More attentive service is needed. Several private parties- restaurant needs to staff accordingly when this occurs. We felt neglected at times. Early in the evening ran out of items.
