The location was tricky to get in the correct lane to turn in. Just an FYI & heads up!!
Oh my goodness!! Went here with a group of 8 girlfriends and we had a splendid time. The food was ah-mazing, the server was amazing but the time spent with friends was worth it all!!!
The young man came around often to fill our water glasses!! And a manager stopped and asked if we needed anything. I guess we were a bit too loud but we didn't lower the volume!!

Who closes the kitchen on Saturday night at 9 PM?

It was my first time and it won't be the last. We both had fish and it was delicious. The gazpacho appetizer was the bomb. And yummy cocktails and dessert. Our waiter was quite attentive.

This little place is a gem. I was going to have the gluten free fried chicken, Wednesday special but we got there at 8pm and they were sold out. Our waiter suggested another dish, pork tenderloin. It was amazing! The combination of flavors was a delight because it was stuffed and wrapped in bacon, sitting on a bed of polenta with avocado etc. Truly wonderful for my taste buds.
My husband had a burger and he said it was okay. So it’s better to order something that the chef can create with. Their menu doesn’t describe enough what goes into the dishes so ask.
Also we shared (the pic shows half) the watermelon salad. Again a very creative combination of flavors that was delightful. I feel like they picked the best part of the watermelon to make it, (the center) in order for it to be perfect. The food was well worth the price as I don’t mind spending money on food that is excellent.
The one down side is the incredible noise as the room was full of loud joyous people. I think they were so full of joy because of the food. I will definitely tolerate this noise to get this food! And last but not least, the service was excellent.

A city gem! The lamb chops were cooked to perfection. It was an delightful experience visually and for my taste buds. Also the Diva was the perfect cocktail choice.

The service was impeccable and our group of 7 wanted for nothing. The atmosphere was really great as well. We had appetizers, entrĂ©es, and dessert. The appetizers and entrĂ©es were unbelievable! We had the baked brie and charcuterie board for appetizers. I couldn’t have enough of the brie! Likewise, the desserts were absolutely delicious. The crĂšme brĂ»lĂ©es and the apple purses were out of this world. My colleagues enjoyed their entrĂ©es very much. However, I ordered the fried chicken special of the night and while the chicken was perfectly cooked and still moist, it had absolutely no flavor such that I could only have a few bites and left the rest. The mashed potatoes likewise had no flavor so I didn’t have much of those. The green beans were delicious with some salt I added and were the only part of my entrĂ©e that I ate and finished. (Chef Ramsey would’ve yelled at the cook and asked him where the salt was.). At least that left room for the great desserts. Oh, and they never comped my meal, even though the server could see I hardly ate any of it. There’s enough parking.

I stopped by for lunch with family. It was in an excellent location and ambiance, and I enjoyed the iced tea and dessert. I had the "TV dinner" plate. It was just ok. However, the baked fish with veggies was delicious.

The gazpacho soup was superb and very different. The crùme brule’ was also beautifully presented and delicious. The crab cakes were served with a delicious salad with mango and avocado. The bartender makes a delicious Manhattan.
Sam was our waiter and was charming and efficient.
