Good food, great drinks. Love the atmosphere. The bar side is a little noisy, but can still hold a conversation. Will be back!

This place left me truly giddy. My husband insisted we get the garlic salad, it was the best salad I ever had. Even if you are not a salad person, it is way better than any fried appetizer on the menu. For my entree I got the mushroom ricotta whatever pasta that was on the menu, It was Incredible, I never eat Italian, but this was amazing. My husband got the short rib and it was so rich, flavorful, and delicious. Now the true star of the evening, the brown butter cheesecake. Not only was it the best cheesecake I’ve ever had, it was the best dessert I’ve ever had. If I thought the garlic salad was 10/10 this was 1000/10. They need to keep this on the menu 24/7 year round. Do not skip the garlic salad and brown butter cheesecake. If you think duck city is good compared to this, sorry but you have no taste.

The epitome of fine dining but in a relaxes atmosphere. The employees are all friendly, unique, and down to earth. Our server, Alexis, was professional and attentive without the slightest bit of stuffiness! Better still, the food is incredible. As good as anything from a Michelin rated kitchen, hands down. Make this a must of you anywhere in the area! My husband had a 32 Hour Braised Short Rib while I had their house made Goat Cheese Agnolotti.

We had a delicious dinner here - the garlic salad was especially good. We didn't know what to expect with the banana split, but it was fantastic! Kind and friendly staff + good food + nice vibe = five stars.

Let me start by saying that I have lived in Chicago, New York and Belgium. This restaurant would well in any of those places.
Most importantly the food . Menu selection was excellent with many choices including vegetarian. The crab beignets were outstanding and worth the trip on their own.
I ordered the ribeye and it was cooked as requested. I do suggest bringing a friend , it was large. The cocktails were well crafted and delicious as was the strawberry cheesecake. My wife had the duck breast which she raved about.
To sum up we will definitely return.

Food is way over done. If you love over the top rich food then this is your place. Good cocktails and service. Do bring money, $80 for a ribeye. Menu pictures on the web are outdated, both entrees and prices. Again this may be perfect for you, just too rich for me

Unexpected greatness. The Chef played to all the senses. Visually pleasing. Great balance of textures and flavors. Price was on the low side for what you are getting. The ABSOLUTE BEST waitress I have ever had. So engaging and sweet. (From SA) Restraunt decor is unique and adds to the overall experience. A must go establishment!

The duck confit croquettes that came with the duck breast were the hero of the evening. If you're lucky, Alexis will serve your table. She killed it.
