    It is BEAUTIFUL! Ambiance is amazing. But… We had a 2pm reservation for Easter. They called to confirm the day before and told us that the kitchen would close at 2:30 so don’t be late. We thought that was odd. When we arrived they reiterated that we needed to hurry up and order because the kitchen was closing at 2:30. We ordered swiftly and then waited. No one came by to check on our drinks so we just sat. When our meal arrived, the waitress asked us if we were going to want dessert. We hadn’t even had a bite of our meal!!!! We declined dessert. The waitress brought our check when she came to collect our plates before we had even asked for it. We hadn’t actually planned to have coffee and visit for a bit . I WANT to love this place but I have never felt more rushed and unwelcome. It was Easter, my husband and I had our 4 kids with us and wanted to enjoy our time. We felt rushed. It was unfortunate. I hope they adapt their seating timeframe and cater to people enjoying their time, otherwise I can see people being turned off

    Exceptional service from the moment we arrived! We highly recommend going, you won’t be disappointed! Ask for Tony as your server, he goes above and beyond to make your experience one to remember! The food was beyond amazing! We ordered the fried cauliflower and shishito peppers, the baby beet salad, salmon crude, tuna tartare, bolognese, and Citrus Crusted Herb Halibut . We had brussels sprouts and potatoes as our side dishes and they both complimented our meal so well. You have to save room for dessert, we ended with the most delicious Sticky toffee pudding! Can’t wait to go back!

    It's an incredible place, and the staff is remarkably helpful. We celebrated my fiancé’s birthday with a large group of friends, and everybody was thrilled with the ambiance, menu, service, and selection of wines. We will definitely be back.
