Everything was delectable! The Herbe De Triumph & Bordeaux Sour cocktails were so refreshing, the leek and eggplant fritters were my favorite savory bite, and the apple bread pudding stole the show for dessert. Our server, Shannon, was incredible and brought a bubbly joy to our entire dining experience! We can't wait to come back, and we would be lucky to be served by her again!

The beets dish was absolutely amazing, sweet and spicy! I enjoyed the “chips and 4 dips” experience as well. The scallop tacos were outstanding, and the biryani had an amazing presentation. The cauliflower was tasty, but surprisingly cold. I would definitely recommend!

Great experience. We started with the bite size apps: delicious. We then had the oysters: outstanding. Next was the Caesar for two: not my favorite. Too much lemon and way too much anchovies. Next time I would definitely ask for very little lemon and no anchovies or maybe one smashed in the dressing. We ordered filet mignon with the mushrooms and mashed potatoes- outstanding! Great service from Rory, thank you!

The food was amazing! We had a seat at the bar and ordered some great drinks. After that we got the scallops for an appetizer and some entrees with a side. All were so good. We ended with three desserts which was the right choice because they all were so unique and delicious. Staff were very helpful and attentive throughout the meal. Cannot wait to go back.
