                                Chef Gabe outdid himself tonight. The special, a pork chop in a parsnip puree and blueberry demi glaze served with brussell sprouts, was divine.

                                Food was very good and service was great. I was Expecting amazing food experience based on past experience with this chef. Don't get me wrong food was solid I was just expecting more. Especially when you put on your menu Vegan option available for dish that the sauce that accompanies such dish would be vegan. Pretty simple get a jar of Vegan Mayo. The bread was offered plain, no olive oil & basaltic drizzle. Felt like maybe back of house was a bit off this night. I will surely try them again and would recommend folks give them try and let us know if things are up to snuff so to speak. PS once again coming from a place of complete food snobbery which this chef is known to exceed!
