Alex was our server and made some great suggestions. Braised beef was amazing. We were celebrating my birthday and he brought out a complimentary dessert. Overall a great experience with good food. Recommend

My boyfriend and I went here the other night for a delayed Valentine’s Day dinner. The service was amazing great recommendations and good feedback was given on any of the questions that we had. We also had two glasses of Pinot Grigio wine, which paired really well with all of the food that we got. It was a 8 PM reservation and it wasn’t busy for a weekday so it was a perfect ambiance. Not too loud & we could talk comfortably and pacing of our food was great. The only thing that we wish was out there was bigger portion size for the pasta! But outside of that everything else was amazing. Would definitely go back.

Our server, Megan, was fabulous! Very observant and paid attention to us. She was especially kind to my uncle, who was celebrating his 83 birthday! Much appreciated. The food was yummy too!

The atmosphere is nice as well as the views from the top floor. However, the food was just okay, nothing to rave over. We shared the beet salad and the ricotta cheese spread, the ricotta cheese spread wasn’t as smooth as we would have liked. For dinner we tried the gnocchi (over cooked and mushy), bison burger was dry and prime rib special, drenched in gravy, not seasoned and nothing special. Likely won’t be returning when there are other tasty options in the area.

This place is absolutely amazing. The service is great, we had Megan as our server and she was just awesome. We never felt like she was too much or too little, super receptive and just overall a very sweet and very friendly server! The food was divine, with pretty competitive prices for fine dining, they really hit it out of the park. I had the Bison burger and my partner had the fish and chips and we both couldn't finish. We split a French onion soup to start and every single bite of each meal was delicious. They also have us a complimentary little dessert for my birthday, which was scrumptious (although it's supposed to be a surprise! So don't worry if they don't mention anything until after you finish eating for birthdays). Last but not least is the atmosphere and view, which is just stunning. It's beautiful inside and out, and makes a great place for literally any occasion (Plus they have great music taste). Overall probably the best and most worthwhile dining experience I have ever had!
