Truly a beautiful experience! Excellent food, beautiful atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff! Shrimp and polenta grits was AMAZING! Beautiful presentation and the roasted beet and goat cheese salad. Bartenders were very entertaining. Definitely coming back to try more of their menu! 11/10 experience!

I forgot our server/bartenders name but he truly went above and beyond. We went on Thanksgiving night, first time to go out to eat for this holiday, and he made our family feel so special. The manager was wonderful too. Thank you!

Overall dinner took 2.5 hours. Sat at 5:30pm didn’t finish until 8pm. Restaurant was empty minus one other table on arrival. Food was good. But took incredibly long to come out. The dessert took longer than the food to come out. Wait staff was decent, and they comped the dessert which was nice. Overall ambience was nice, but the wait time for the food wasn’t worth it.

Did their high tea. It was a first for us. Food and tea were great. Quiet area and able to talk. A lot of food for the money. Nice way to make some memories and talk with family.

Service was exceptional! Our server was appropriately attentive. Surprised our birthday celebration wasn’t acknowledged as I know it’s noted on our OT reservation. Hubs had scallops & pasta & lettuce wedge. Honestly nothing exceptional. It was good. I had burnt ends, really really good! & the charcuterie board, it was ok… nothing impressive. Lighting was nice, but music was too “hip.” Good for the bar, but certainly not for fine dining. Disappointed in the decor & design of dining room. Love tablecloths but there were none. Bar area has a nice vive. Would like to see the menu options enhanced. Desserts were extremely minimal. All in all, it was Ok.

Just OK. Food was bland and uninspired. Menu was boring - you could get any of it at any other restaurant in town. I had the scallops … they were well cooked but there were only three on a big plate of unseasoned and tasteless pasta. Staff has potential, but need more training.

First, when we went they hadn’t had their soft opening yet. So things may change with a little time. That being said, the staff were very friendly and seemed genuinely committed to making the experience a good one. So kudos to Leah the bartender and Ray the server…they did a great job. The food however, was average at best and not remotely close to fine dining. I guess we expected much more since they advertise “Fine” food. Again, at this point they haven’t had their soft opening. So hopefully things improve and they expand the menu. But for now, it’s typical hotel food in a typical hotel restaurant.
