    Small, Intimate, and Classy! Professional, knowledgeable, and attentive staff. We were celebrating an anniversary, and we received a complimentary glass of champagne plus a small sweet treat at the end❤️. The menu is small but done superbly.

    The restaurant was warm and inviting from the moment I walked in and approached the host stand. The hostess was kind to take me to the table even though the rest of my party wasn't there. Devon (Devin), our server, was gracious and informative about menu items, especially as one of the three of us at the table is lactose intolerant. Salmon for one of us came out underdone but the situation was handled quickly and efficiently. My crabcake was outstanding. It was a lovely meal in a lovely setting. And Devon (Devin) was very good.

    Food was 3.5. I ordered the lamp chops which were cooked medium and seasoned well. My fiancé got the Vaso’s Shrimp which was good. There seem to be a vent above our table that looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in a while. However, after each customer dined, the table cloths were changed. Overall rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We went for a birthday lunch and enjoyed delicious food with fantastic service. Aly was our fantastic server. They asked about any allergies and accommodated as they could and provided phenomenal recommendations, including the app sampler, drinks, and pumpkin dessert. I can't wait to try again!
