Nik and Caitlin are doing amazing things here. You will enjoy anything you get on the menu (trust me! We tried everything for you). Amazing food and people. Come and try for yourself. 💕 Favorites are Duck Confit (with that crispy skin), Sardine on toast, Bourguignon and can’t go wrong with any dessert.

Went here for the first time yesterday for a date night and it was perfect. They were so kind and great service. The food was delicious and the wine pairing recommendations were spot on! Now our go to for date nights!

This is a place where we'd like to return to. Everything is homemade and the food is comforting. We loved the duck and rabbit dishes. Prices are very reasonable too.
