I hope there is someone who can answer my call. I called several times to make a reservation for 16 people but unfortunately no one ever picked up the phone. Made my reservation to another place.

We went for Thanksgiving Dinner. It was very disappointing. There was only a choice of red/Pinot Noir, white/Chardonay, or sparkling/?? wine by the glass, with no further description of what it was. Beer was two choices. The bread roll was served cold (not room temp) but cold. I am quite sure the mashed potatoes were instant. Honestly, I ate about three bites of the ham and was so turned off by the whole thing, I couldn't eat more. When my plate went back to the kitchen virtually untouched I didn't hear anything from the waitress or a manager. There really is no excuse for a "fine dining" restaurant to take the shortcuts they did with the food and drinks.

Was definitely underwhelmed by the experience. We had a 6:00 reservation and arrived early thinking we could have drinks and appetizers in the garden and then go inside for a nice dinner. Unfortunately, the gardens were overgrown with weeds and the lawn needed mowed. When we were seated they advised us that they only had outdoor seating and a limited menu. We placed our order for appetizers and were told by the cook that they were still prepping for the day at 5:40 and he would not be preparing food to serve guests until 6:00 the time of our reservations. Even though they opened at 5:00. When they finally brought one of the hamburgers it did not include any condiments. After we asked they brought the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles - but no mayonnaise (as ordered). It took several minutes longer for the mayo. Definitely not the caliber of service and food we expect at this price point. Will not be going back until they get new management!

Nice setting but on a warm evening sun can be intense despite patio umbrellas. Waiters conscientious. Unfortunately, not kid friendly ( e.g., no high chairs or kid utensils, cups). So only recommend adults dine there. Limited menu. Pizza was good especially the crust. Other table mates never received vegetable side they ordered. Waiter said he was being ignored by cooks so arounded up some antipasto vegetables as compensation.

What a lovely restaurant! This was an all-around great experience: wonderful, innovative food, superb service, and just about the prettiest setting for outside dining anyone could imagine. The menu is limited, but food prep is thoughtful and well-executed. I don't think they have indoor and outdoor dining simultaneously so I can't comment on the interior, but the outside dining room certainly made for a memorable summertime meal. Although it's a forty minute drive for us. we will definitely be coming again.

Think the place is struggling financially, food is poor quality crock-pot food or poorly made pizza, and takes hourS (plural) to get a meal.

Always a pleasant experience. Great outdoor menu for a Summer night. Staff treat us like family.

The garden setting is lovely and in nice weather it's a treat (but beware the mosquitos!) Service tends to be slow (confirmed on several visits) so be prepared for a leisurely evening and enjoy the ambience. Cocktails were only OK. My mojito lacked any sugar or simple syrup. Now I don't like super sweet drinks but this was basically rum with soda water, lime and a sprig of mint. Unlike prior seasons they did not have bottles of wine, only limited offerings by the glass - rather odd. Our appetizers - housemade pate and Thai shrimp - were very tasty. Entree choices are limited, basically salmon, chicken or pizza. My wife liked her salmon which was simply prepared. The pizzas look good but are a bit dry and the toppings a bit skimpy. Prices are on the high side for the area and the food choices. If you go, know that you're paying to enjoy the garden setting on a summer evening and you'll have a good time.

What the f*** is going on here??Made a reservation here based on great reviews and photos. Arrived to a lovely garden, but a waiter insisting we did not have a reservation while telling us to go away. Begrudgingly admitted us when I showed her the text confirmation. Got the menu and it was all pizza and burgers-- great if you're Domino's but not so much for a nice dinner out.Maybe 5 other tables seated, nobody ever came and took drink orders. Table next to us started complaining about the food, and we took it as our sign to leave.Ended up visiting another establishment and had a wonderful time where we felt much more welcome. I would NEVER visit here again, and would actually actively discourage other people from visiting based on our experience and what we saw other people encountering during our brief visit.

Nice garden, but that's about it. Clearly short staffed and struggling, and apparently running a reduced menu. Not the fine dining it was advertised as. Prices looked okay but you really should make it clear that you can't actually order any of the food in all the reviews and your website listing on Google!

The outside sitting area was great.After 4 glasses of beer for 2 persons they were out of beer. The starters came on time and were ok. The entrée took an hour was relativ to the price not acceptable (Salmon dry).
