    My third time here and it never disappoints. From the time we were greeted at the front door and through the meal it was close to perfection. I had the crab cake and then the pork chop. Others at my table had the Mushroom Soup and Salmon. We had 3 different desserts: chocolate cake, sticky toffee pudding and special dessert - a scone with ice cream and raspberry coulis. Our waiter was outstanding and so very polite.

    The quality of the food was good. I did not feel that the menu had really any healthy options. Many things had truffle oil-and were rich foods. I think the restaurant has the potential to be really great. This area has no really good restaurants- all are average or slightly above average. Maybe they don’t care about some healthy options -my daughter who is both gluten free and dairy free had very little to eat- we had to modify one of the dishes. We asked for the fish over greans. They gave us a tablespoon of spinach. For the prices I think it could have been a little more generous. But the service and the people were great. Very friendly and attentive.

    I know it was Valentine’s Day and they were busy, but we were asked to wait in the parking lot rather than sit at the empty bar because we showed up a little early for our reservation. It should have been handled better

    The food was AMAZING. So flavorful and just the right amount. Our sever Lila was sweet and gave us just enough attention yet was never intrusive. We usually go here for special occasions but I can’t wait for one to go back

    The food is great. The location is great. Parking can be a bit difficult when it’s busy. Lighting is a bit dim though.

    Leila, our server was excellent, and friendly. Compliments to the Chef! Short Rib and Chicken Breast were delicious. Banoffee Pie was out of this world.
