    The food was delicious. I got the halibut and my boyfriend got the New York Strip, both were super great. The steak came with a blue cheese butter and I hate blue cheese, but it was super yummy! Even with all of that, the veggies were literally so wonderful too. Definitely going back!

    The location was very nice and the atmosphere was pleasant as well. However, the food could be a bit better for the price. The tartare was delicious but that was the only highlight. The steak was a little too charred which ruined the taste for me. Overall, it's not bad but the food could use some work.

    I visited once while in town and I absolutely loved the food, particularly the pork chop and the halibut. I wish I lived nearby just to visit this place often. The espresso martini was smooth and well-balanced. Our server took the time to explain the menu and provided details about the dishes we were considering. Once he mentioned the pork chops are marinated for 17 hours, I knew I had to try it and it has been the best pork chop I have ever tried. The ambiance is elegant, quiet and staff were attentive.

    This is a really nice spot next to the capital. There's a parking garage literally next door which is so nice, and the ambiance is incredible. We sat outside on the patio and it was lovely, surrounded by big trees so not getting cooked by the sun. Erica was out server and she was wonderful, so attentive and read our vibe perfectly. We started with just some drinks and took our time for food and never felt pressured or rushed. We had the baby gem Cesar and the soup of the day which was a beef and potato and OMG it was so good. I eventually had the chicken meatballs and my husband had the shrimp cocktail. The meatballs were good , very filling, and the pesto wasn't what I expected but that's on me. It was rich and a little spicy which is great but more tomatoey. Hubs said the shrimp were good but the cocktail sauce was a little weird, not bad but different. I had an old fashioned and then a spicy blackberry smash drink, both were strong and good. Only regret is I wish I could have had the flour less brownie tiramisu dish to go but they couldn't do that 😭 Great time, thanks for having us! We appreciate you Erica!
