Pristine white linen in a relaxed setting, this place is so darling , no wonder it is jammed packed the moment it opens.

This place is awesome. Wasn’t aware of it but we will be going back for sure. Fresh food and super friendly staff! Short rib special was made with extra care. So good. Filet was cooked perfectly. White fish was fresh and perfectly cooked. Burger- with out a bun- was flavorful and delicious. Get the banana cream pie. This is a must stop!

★★★★★ 5.0 Laura Ŵ · Sep 2023

Didn't expect this to be as exceptional as it was! Their specials are fabulous and fresh. 'Ancho marinated skirt steak' was incredible, as was the 'Creamy sexy blue cheese wedge salad'. Each item is unique from any other restaurant fare. Ex: This wedge has generous slices (not crumbles) of Amish Blue cheese and dried fig. DELICIOUS! Drinks were very good and quite potent. The service was impeccable.👌 We loved our waiter and his honesty! We would absolutely go back, 100%.

★★★★★ 5.0 Vito Brancato · Jan 2024

Dinner was fantastic. I enjoyed a flavorful juicy skirt steak and the mushroom strudel. The steak was perfectly cooked, and I loved the grilled onion they served with it. I asked Pierre, their sommelier, for a wine recommendation to accompany my steak. He recommended a glass of two different Cabernets, one old world and one new. The staff was wonderful.

A scrumptious dinner venue hidden away in the corporate building. The service is very fast! The food - the sirloin burger is truly a delight. It’s soft and tender topped up with a blue cheese topping of sorts. The wedge potato’s are a whole other delight! Crispy and substantial. I always order an extra side of these. It’s a perfect blend of crispy outside and edges with a warm, soft middle. The half baked chicken was wonderful: the skin was perfectly crispy and the wild rice gave nice texture. The true star of the show was the pumpkin it was served with - buttery sweet with a crunch from the sunflower seed it was served with. It complimented the savory chicken dish so nicely. The shepherd’s pie was hearty and delicious! Soft creamy mashed potatoes in the top with piping hot meat and veg
