Expectations were low as we would’ve been happy with anything since we were so hungry. The place was so cute and nicely decorated for Christmas. The ravioli was outstanding and definitely a fan favorite in our family. Will 100 percent be going back ❤️

I am not saying this lightly. Unquestionably the best meal my husband and I ever had. We had four courses chosen off the regular menu accompanied by wine pairings explained by the sommelier, Matt, who loved his job. It was not unlike an interesting history lesson. Great food! I agree with my husband who said that they really know how to season. I have to add they know how to add an unexpected ingredient that made what would have been a mundane mushroom risotto pop. It was just the right, small amount of pickled mushrooms sprinkled on top. While the crabcake was huge, lump and traditionally prepared. Where it wasn’t required they didn’t over season or do anything just to do something new. Nothing seemed like an afterthought. Fine dining at its best. We are both looking forward to going back.
