We really loved the space! It had a great, almost club like atmosphere. I ordered the filet mignon, which I had to cook table side. It was brought to me on a hot stone. It came with rustic potatoes, best potatoes I ever had. My fiance ordered the chicken breast, the chicken was very bland and dry, he was pretty disappointed. Over all great experience, staff was very friendly, will come back.

Menu is varied and all menu items sound delicious. Tried the bacon donuts for the first time and they are as delicious as they sound. Their Quiche is some of the best around town. A reservation is required if you don't want to wait in a line.
