Filet mignon and salmon were very good. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was odd, with high overhead lighting (nobody looks good in overhead lighting, except my wife of course), no table clothes or candles on the tables.

Dim lighting at lunchtime..? The restaurant didn’t look open. Can imagine in the evening it may look atmospheric but misses it during the day.
Food terrible although at first I thought it was tasty, I did at times get a strange taste coming through. (Vegetarian avocado wrap). I looked more closely and much of the avocado was bad. At home I would have thrown it away. Very poor.
Waitress could see we had left a lot. My husband did not like his salmon salad… so left much of his. After asking if we wanted a box and us declining the offer, it should have been a sign at our displeasure of the meal.
Very sub standard food and atmosphere poor.

Worst dining experience ever. We arrive at our 7:30 reservation (hostess very nice) sat us. We were not greeted by wait staff for 10 min. After finally getting a drink order in, many minutes later it arrived and we were told the kitchen was closing early at 8 pm…in 4 minutes, she says “no rush to order though.” No time for an appetizer, we of course order dinner immediately. We finish drinks, she swipes the glasses, no offer for another. Food arrives, it was good, pork tenderloin and pepper steak, we eat and end up with a small amount left over. After being ignored the entire meal she reaches for my plate to throw my food away. I asked for a box. She rolls her eyes, leaves my plate at the table and comes back 5 minutes later with a box and delivers the bill. We hadn’t asked for it yet. Did we want anything else, drink, desert, anything…it didn’t matter! For the record we had wanted desert and probably a second round of drinks. I have never had such rude service nor been pushed through a meal in that way. The evening was thoroughly stomped out. We will never go back. After looking into the reviews, I see that this is a common occurrence!

We had one of the best dinners here last night at the bar- honestly some of the best tasting food and cocktails I have ever put in my mouth! The wedge salad was to die for- I could drink that blue cheese! My filet was perfectly prepared and the augratin potatoes and asparagus with hollandaise was just SUBLIME. Our cheese please even had the perfect balance of cheeses and fruits. Please eat here- the whole menu sounded amazing and the staff could not be more sweet or attentive! Excellent bang for your buck as well!!!

Restaurant is beautiful and I adore their food, imo best place to dine in Winchester/Front Royal/Stephens City. Come check this place out! My favs include their salmon salad and chicken with mashed potatoes, the specials are always good and the bread pudding is heavenly! I am a foodie that has eaten at many fine dining including Michelin star restaurants across the country and I am telling you they won’t disappoint!

Stopped by for lunch. Lunch menu is limited, but was very happy what we ordered. Nachos, Fish and Chip and Curry chicken salad, all very tasty and full of flavor. You can tell the chef really takes pride in their craft. Highly recommend it.

The hostess refused us service. She simply told us the restaurant was full. Didn’t give us an option to wait said they were under staffed. I have never experienced such unprofessional behavior by a restaurant.

Everything was great. I honestly walked past twice because there is only one small decal in the window.

The food here is consistently AMAZING. Like… really good. Cocktails are lovely too. And the menu changes every so often so there’s always something new to try. Big fan!

Severe food allergies requested plain chicken no pepper because of allergies. The chicken and vegetables were covered in nothing but black pepper. The waiter did nothing to fix it . We always pay and tip well to give to the community. We still did in these circumstances.But I wouldn't come back.

Dietary restrictions: I have allergies and they served me exactly what I i told them I couldn't have. I downed a strong dose of benedryl after coming here. Don't recommend as they say they'll accommodate and then do not.

Nice restaurant with very large portions for the appetizers. It could use a little more light, but would totally return for the apps and the amazing cocktails!
