    A friend and I shared their "First Dips" December menu, and it was perfect for us. John was our server, and he was excellent. Delish and for $100 for two with wine pairings, a pleasant surprise considering other options. I like to dine early so this works for us.

    First time requesting the First Dibs menu and it was exceptional!!! Very shareable and three courses with wine pairings was perfect!!! Menu changes with the season and is appropriate and well executed. We were not rushed while being a 5 pm seating. Really liked having another dining option. Great experience

    The food was great. Would have love to have had a steak but I’m not paying those prices for the two steaks listed. I eat all over the country at high end restaurants, they don’t charge these dollar amounts. The server was fantastic.
