Amazing experience! Excellent service and food. You could really tell the staff is highly trained they always made sure water was filled (it was an exceptionally hot day) and checked in on customers more than once. The food is SUPER fresh. We got the pan seared scallops and grilled fillet mignon. Both were cooked to perfection!

We managed to get last minute seating in the patio area for 4 people and can only say that it was the most unbelievable meal from starters to desert. My husband, who has travelled the world and eaten food prepared by world famous Chefs came away saying this meal exceeded anything he has ever eaten. If able he would rate it worthy of a Mitchelin STAR.

What a gem! This is perfect for date night or intimate dinner with friends. I came in for dinner at 5pm with a couple friends and we're warmly greeted and promptly seated. The host gave us the specials of the night and piloted some delicious wine. Server was really nice and gave good recommendations. For appetizers we tried deviled eggs and pork belly. Must try!! I had the Broccoli Cheddar soup, followed by the salmon. DELICIOUS! My friends both had the Wedge Salad and Chicken Breast with Mushroom sauce and they devoured every last bite!

I have read so many good reviews so We decided to celebrate here our 12 year wedding anniversary. It’s probably the heat? Outside temperature was 99F. Looks like the ac in that building didn’t hold up. While in the building it feels like around 85-95F inside. In short we are not comfortable at all. The service was NOT GREAT AT ALL. The food is okay not really worth $30 or $40 per plate on my opinion. I was expecting atleast a decent service and a decent food. No wow factor. I’ve spent $100+20% tip overall I wouldn’t recommend the place. Won’t be coming back to this establishment.

We ordered the deviled eggs appetizer, the duck comfit, and the strawberry bread pudding. All were excellent!! I'll happily come here again!

Today's my wife birthday. Decided to go here for dinner. Turned out good. The service is good as expected and the food is full of favors! Filet mignon is the best!

Extremely nice spot in an older house. Service was definitely refined and on point. The duck confit was very good but also very rich. The salmon was very delicious and I would recommend it to just about anyone. The bone marrow appetizer was very good. I just wish it had a few more pieces of toast and more of the arugula salad to go with it. Still it was very good and I would get it again. Overall, this is a great place to go in Elk Grove!
