    I appreciate all the special flavors in unique combinations of usual and unusual ingredients. Also a noise level where you can carry a conversation.

    Probably one of the best meals I’ve had in recent memory and the service was outstanding, it’s no surprise they are up for a James Beard hospitality award. I’m kind of surprised they aren’t also nominated for one on the food side. Excellent meal.

    This was some of the best food and service we have experienced in several years. We only regret that we live so far away in Michigan. Even as we toured the gardens, a young man came outside to wish us a good day and to thank us for coming. My second regret was not keeping track of the names of those providing service, they all deserve public recognition.

    Service is very very slow. A few tables around us couldn’t remember if they had ordered or not since the food took so long. It was very heavy on steak which was disappointing since the online menu when we made the reservation looked so diverse and interesting. The drink list and wines by the glass are minimal and not good. They bring bread, which was delicious, for the table but not enough for everyone dining. The steak was very bland for $82. No sauce and no seasoning. And the whole place was filled with smoke from them searing so many steaks. Our dessert was not good either. The rest of the food was pretty good but nothing I would go back for. I was really excited about the restaurant but pretty disappointed in the experience.

    A really magical Saturday afternoon brunch with my sister and daughter, on the front steps, in early spring. The hospitality was gentle, intentional, and consistent- they’re really lovely folks. And the food was magic. Merci.
