★★★★★ 5.0 Zarielle (ZariTravelEats Yelp Elite) · Feb 2026

Went here for Valentine’s Day dinner. Had a reservation already, so no wait to be seated. All of the tables were full inside, but the ambiance didn’t feel crowded at all. There was a specialty valentines theme menu that they had. Even with it being busy this night, our waiter was communicative and attentive throughout the whole night. We were informed early on that the kitchen was a bit busy/getting backed up, so we appreciated the transparency. To drink: I tried the Sangria (8/10) I enjoyed the flavors; was a simple sangria. And the featured cocktail, Cupids Arrow (10/10) this drink should be on the menu permanently because I’d def dine here again just for this drink. It had a good balance of being fruity, fizzy, and decently strong for a light buzz. To eat: we started with appetizers,

This is such a beautiful restaurant and lovely for a first date. We enjoyed the deviled eggs, charcuterie, salmon, and cesar salad. My only feedback is the deviled eggs had WAY too much mustard, almost inedible. Besides this everything was delectable. Dave provided excellent customer service and cannot wait to be back and see him again!

We picked this restaurant based on the fact that it was the closest cover from the rain, and boy am I glad that nature convened. Everyone was incredibly friendly, the service was Johnny on the spot, and most importantly, the food was out of this world. We had the bacon wrapped goat cheese stuffed figs with a blackberry sauce on top. I would go back just for this item alone. We also tried the druck confit on crostini with gorgonzola (?) and it was tasty as well. For dinner we tried the beef spare ribs, the drunk duck burger, and the steak au poivre (forgive my spelling if incorrect). Every last detail was delicious. My kid had an off the wall request for an unlisted item, and they accommodated him without batting an eye. I can't remember our servers name but she was delightful as well. T

I was there last Christmas and it was truly a gem! The staff were warm and attentive, which made the experience even better. We started with the gnocchi for appetizers — it was so good I wanted to order another plate! For our entrees, we had the grilled salmon and the filet au poivre. Both were cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic. I also tried their red sangria. While it was good, the cinnamon bark was a bit overpowering for my taste. Overall, a wonderful dining experience.
