    Great evening! We had stopped in during the soft opening to test some appetizers and have some wine, and was very happy that now two months later for this visit, that the food, vibe, etc., had remained the same. Emily was our server that first night, and was outstanding, as was Austin from last night. The octopus app is very creative, with the protein cut in pieces, and seared, as opposed to one big tentacle placed on a plate. The grilled cauliflower was a hit. For entrees, the branzino was spot on for taste and presentation, as well as the wagyu coulette, and the pork chop. My recommendation for the pork chop, however, is to REQUIRE that the apple butter spread used for the scallop dish be a permanent resident on the side for future servings. Caramel bread pudding for dessert was a nice, gooey mix. Will definitely return to try the other entrees!

    It is of course our annual celebration of the holidays out at the mall. So once a year we eat here and this time I tried something new, it was good, and what my hubby got was his favorite.

    Delicious food, and a great beer menu. Kind of a cool location above a market. Would love to come back on a weekend when it's a bit livelier. We went on Wednesday evening before a concert at Pine Knob.
