The service and food were outstanding. It was very loud though, which took away from the overall dining experience. I would highly recommend the bone in pork chop, filet with truffle butter, creamed spinach, and the Maitake mushrooms. Highly recommended! You should go check it out!!

Had a casual business lunch yesterday. Food and relaxed atmosphere were perfect. Kaitlyn was our server and she was awesome. She was funny,, energetic and made excellent recommendations from the menu. She’s a real gem! Inside joke (she saved us from a burning boat)!

Food was very good quality for the price. Wednesdays had a $3 discount per meal which was a nice surprise. The separate pastry shop, everything looked delicious but I found the frosting was too heavy and greasy.
