My family had a great experience there. Delicious cocktails and wine, wonderful food, and very attentive, professional, and friendly service. The servers were expert in the food and drinks they were offering and gave great recommendations. Our party of 5 tried very varied menu options and everyone loved their dishes. The cellar dining room feels like an old wine cellar (in a good way!) and was beautifully decorated for the holiday. For us, at this price point, it’s special occasion...

This food was so delicious. We got the seasonal special which was a short rib ravioli and it was delicious, the perfect portion and not too heavy but still decadent and delicious. The NY Strip was also tasty it was cooked just the way we like it but the steak itself was not as flavorful as I had hoped.

My fiancé and I absolutely loved the wine cellar experience. The pacing of the five courses allowed us to really enjoy the experience (and a bottle of wine), and the service was excellent. We definitely recommend the wine cellar experience if you want to have a romantic evening.
