We had a great dinner last night! Shannon our server was fantastic, our table was ready for us upon arrival and the food and drinks were on point! We live in Salem and would usually go to the Buorbon St location and this was our first time to the Beverly location, we will be back for sure!!!! The parking garage directly next door was also plus for convenience and you can’t beat $4 parking.

The restaurant was great. The food was outstanding: an order of popovers to start, a roasted duck breast for me, a baked salmon for my wife left us so full we couldn’t get to dessert. The parking was a challenge and it was pretty noisy but our server, Martina, was attentive and friendly so we were very happy with the whole experience and will definitely be back

A perfect birthday dinner from start to finish! Impeccable service and outstanding food and drink. Hubby’s Ribeye was the best steak either one of us has ever tasted. We were seated near the fireplace and the ambiance was warm and festive. We have been here several times and while the experience is always a great one, this one was exceptional. We sadly had no room for dessert, but our waiter Jacob sent us home with two chocolate truffles which was a very nice touch. We will certainly be back.
