The Iberico Pork is phenomenal and those that ordered it were very happy with their meal. I had the dirty pasta and that was delicious! The best item of the night was the beet salad! Who would have thought that beets, granola,berries and blue cheese could be a salad. This was brilliant!

The food was amazing! I also had the devil's apiary (a bourbon based drink) that was incredible. Timothy was so helpful to explain the menu, offer suggestions, and offer pleasant conversation. We really had a wonderful time! Try the Beef Tartare and the Truffle Fries! :)

    New restaurant for us. Fabulous pre-concert dinner! Elegant setting. Staff were friendly and attentive. The menu was INTERESTING! What a nice change to have choices that felt new and unique… looking forward to going back to try the things we missed out on this time. Everything was fresh and delicious. Loved the champagne vinaigrette on the beet and arugula salad, and even the roasted carrots were something special. My husband finished off his Asiago gnocchi before I could even steal a bite! The tuna poke was full of flavor and the preparation was beautiful and fun! I was disappointed that we ran out of time (and room!) for dessert… next time!! The bar even helped us pregame for the concert by playing our band’s music… nice touch! We’ll be back!
