What an incredible meal! The food was outstanding, and the presentation was that of a Michelin restaurant. Our server Christine was impeccable and did not miss anything. The ambiance was rich and warming. The elk loin was cooked to perfection and the halibut was delicious. If you like beef tartare, this is the place to get it. The salted caramel pudding was the perfect way to end the meal. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for that special place for dinner.

Great food. The parking is all on street parking which is expected for downtown, but it was tough trying to figure out where to park. It was quiet on this day and the service seemed to be very casual.
