This is a fabulous restaurant. The food was wonderful and the service was perfect. We enjoyed our meal and time together. We could easily carry on a conversation. We arrived an hour before our scheduled reservation which was a mistake on my part. They were gracious and accommodated us anyway. If you are in Beacon, make sure to stop here for a delicious meal and fantastic service.

Overall it was a tremendous experience. Great date night without the kids. If you go, keep in mind that this is an experience meant to be savored. Total time at the restaurant clocked in at two hours. The restaurant clearly intends for your dining to be a drawn out experience, savored and relaxed, so plan accordingly.

Loved the main dishes. Appetizers were good to very good. Bar is where it fell a little short -- wines by the glass were just "ok" and specialty mixed drink wasn't so special. But would definitely eat here again!

The food great, our waitress couldn’t have been nicer, and the vibe is cozy and quiet enough to have a conversation without shouting.
