The food was amazing! We really enjoyed talking to the owner /chef, all around great experience!

We were lucky enough to experience the new years meal pre fixed dinner. Our group had a lot of dietary restrictions and they did not only a phenomenal job making sure our group had their substitutions but also making sure we had an incredible experience. The food was a dream from start to finish. I couldn’t choose a course that was my favorite because they all were! We came from Grand Rapids because we love spending the new year here in TC and we will definitely be back again...read full review
