    Valentines dinner was perfect. Excellent service, good food and the atmosphere was date worthy. We were able to converse, it was a low volume establishment.

    Excellent food, interesting Farm-to-Table menu that changes often. A little pricey for what you get, but all around great experience.

    Great food, tried rutabagas for the first time and I now have a new and vegetable I like. Lamb was cooked to perfection. Martinis not served in a martini glass, not a deal breaker, but expected at this type of eatery. Would recommend for a foodie experience.

    Wonderfully delicious dinner and great first experience. The ambience was perfect. Some patrons complained that it was too noisy because a large group had dinner and were enjoying themselves. We simply found as an energetic friend get together.. We will definitely be back. Love the farm to table selections. Staff was warm an genuinely sincere.
