We eat here several times each semester and today was probably the best main course I have had at Courses. The sauce on the Coq au Vin was fabulous with a rich flavor of various spices on the palette. The onions and ham added a nice change of texture. The smoked salmon appetizer was delicious but needed a second crostini for the amount of Brie and salmon on the plate. Wonderful flavor, though. The dessert was an interesting combo of flavors but the beets added a nice compliment to the crème brûlée. All in all, a delightful meal.

Beautiful place! Wonderful staff! Food was AMAZING! We tried the sweet potato and flautas for starters and both were very good! The sweet potato definitely was a larger portion and more than enough for everyone. Entree wise we ordered 2 filets and 2 waygu burgers. Both were fantastic! The filet was definitely probably the best steak I’ve had in my life, as well as the green beans with bone marrow drizzle. Found our new date night spot and it’s centrally located too right downtown

We love this restaurant! Invited friends for a holiday luncheon and it was perfect. Service is attentive. The delicious food is the Star! My guests enjoyed the Gooey Go let turkey sandwich with delicious thick turkey. Pimento cheese sandwich was a hit as were breakfast options.
