This was the best upscale restaurant experience we have been to in the F-M area. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was pleasant and not fussy. Our server Alanna was wonderful and really knew the menu. She made great recommendations. We will definitely be back!

This place always does such a good job with the concept of 'eating with your eyes first'. I wanted to take a picture, but I was on a work trip and held back. Super personable, attentive service who know how to recommend, upsell, and/or affirm your ordering decisions.

Food and drinks expensive compared to other fine dining in the area. Other tables received bread and we were not offered it. We went there for a birthday dinner and told we would get free birthday cake, but we never did. Service was timely. Non alcoholic drinks very expensive compared to other dining in town. Not sure if we’ll be back.
