My husband and I dined here two nights ago. We are semi locals and love coming here every few weeks. I had the chef's special...grilled chicken breast with fondant potatoes and grilled red onions, spiced carrot puree, pomegranate jus, and basil emulsion. 9/10 for this amazing dish. Would have been 10 if just a few greens on the side. I relayed my compliments to the chef via a waiter, so I do hope the message got through. My husband's steak was excellent as was the service. On a side note, we have recently returned from Scandinavia and my meal was up there with the best!

Beautiful service and friendly customer service. Joined cause it’s $5 and immediately get $5 credit so basically free to join and get discounts on food and drinks. Food was a bit on the expensive side it was nice but basic. The music was great and staff excellent overall a nice atmosphere.
