    We celebrated our anniversary here, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. We were greeted with a complimentary glass of champagne as we were escorted to our table, which was a lovely touch. Every course—from the amuse-bouche to the dessert—was beautifully presented, thoughtfully crafted, and absolutely delicious. We also opted for the wine pairing, which introduced us to several outstanding wines we had never tried before and thoroughly enjoyed. Exceptional food, impeccable service, and a warm, memorable atmosphere. We can’t wait to come back!

    It was a beautiful July evening. My husband and I made last minute plans to dine early, on a Wednesday. Every aspect of our experience was lovely. Warmly greeted, sat at a table by a window, with views of the rose bushes. This was our third visit. Started out with warm bread and cold butter and shared their version of a Caesar salad, heavenly. They offered a bone in rib eye special. Hubby couldn’t say no. I got the filet with peppercorn sauce. Wow wow wow. Both were tender and seasoned perfectly. Ended the meal with the profiteroles. Service is top notch. The Pinot and Rose - superb. So glad we made the trek out. We’ll return again soon.
