A delightful meal for the price! We were there for the restaurant's 13th Anniversary 4 course dinner. All the food was delicious. The first course, the Soup Duo (half roasted corn, half tomato) was amazing! Portions were moderate. Servers were very pleasant and accommodating, although a bit undertrained & seemed stretched too thin. It was a Tuesday, and the restaurant was half full.
Quiet spot. Which, as I get older I value more and more.
Food was awesome. Extremely fresh.
Server was great - but a little aloof - which wasn't bad, just the more typical young person in a fancy restaurant. But not bad at all.
Been there several times, and will return again, I'm sure of it.

The food was good but not great. The service was not good at all — particularly given that the restaurant was not full at all. Our server was either disengaged or distracted to the point that he forgot to take our entree order, forgot what I was drinking, and did not offer me a second beer. The local fine dining market is far too competitive for a restaurant to survive long with such poor service.
