Food was delish. Only issue was bones in my halibut. Beverage Service & table busing slow at times. Had to ask a couple of times for refills. One refill was poured into the wrong glass so soda and ice tea got mixed up but it was corrected. Avocado tempura appetizer was amazing. Desserts were delicious also crème brûlée and chocolate decadent cake. Hubby filet perfect, pizza large. Will definitely go back.
Our new favorite place- feels homey already. Food is excellent, team makes you feel like neighbors and the local wines are excellent.
Service was very poor this time. Appetize/salad came within 5 minutes of order. Didnt have time to touch cocktail. Main dishes came out before we were close to finishing Appetizers/salads. Never asked if we wanted a 2nd or different drink with dinner, but to be fair, we didnt have a chance to finish our pre-dinner cocktail before the main courses were brought out. After 1 person finished dinner, we were asked if we wanted to see dessert menu when most were still eating dinner....read full review
