Good food done right. We stopped in on the spur of the moment. The Date Night menu has delicious options and a reasonable price. The menu started with a shared Brie crostini appetizer followed by a choice of two salads—Ceasar and the house salad. They were good sized and perfectly dressed. For our entrees we enjoyed the beef short ribs and the half boneless chicken. We finished with a delectable chocolate mousse. A nice bottle of Merlot rounded out the meal. A great option for a relaxing dinner in a charming dining room.

Great staff and excellent food and service. We had a birthday dinner for my mom and they were very accommodating for everything. They also gave her a birthday crème brûlée on the house which was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend!

The food and service was very exceptional, the team made every effort to accommodate our little infant with high chair. Very nice crew. We usually prefer sitting outside at this place, but weather wasn't helping so sitting inside is also nice and cozy
