    Excellent food! I love the creativity of the menu—it’s inspired me to try dishes I normally never would have ordered, only to discover that I actually love them. Caviar and sardines are perfect examples.

    Absolutely STELLAR experience! The food was fresh, expertly prepared, and will be remembered! The ambiance is lovely, as it feels refined but cozy and intimate. The staff was absolutely unbelievable! It’s the kind of service you would love to expect from a high quality restaurant, but these days rarely find. Austen, you are a gem, and the supporting servers never missed a beat. We witnessed what a great service team should look like, and even if the food wasn’t absolutely PHENOMENAL, we would go back for the service! Thank you to everyone who made our simple date night incredibly memorable!
