Overall this is a nice place with a diverse menu and great service. Everyone is friendly and my waitress was excellent, way to give great customer service Charly. The ambience is also amazing and based on where you sit; as for as upstairs, downstairs, outside, bar or barn. They have a space that is just right for every occasion and it almost feels like you stepped into a different place. You just can not go wrong at the beautiful establishment.

Great place for a New Year's dinner, menu was good (high quality standard, not unique). Service was very good even when the live music was really loud in the echo-y space. Seating was ok, live music was loud but good quality for New Year's. The main concern was that the OpenTable app said the prix fixe meal would be $69 per person, but the price climbed up to $89 upon receipt of the bill. Then we were charged $30 for service TWICE. So the final total $149 per person, not the original $69 we were expecting. I would not recommend this place if you are not prepared to pay twice as much as what we saw when we first signed on. This would have been very different if the actual advertised price simply included all of these charges so that we could make an assessment fairly.
