I recently visited this place for the first time, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! Ordered the deviled eggs, crispy chicken breast, and the gluten-free chocolate mousse & orange vanilla custard pie. Everything was so delicious. The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff. The atmosphere was also great—comfortable and inviting. I’ll definitely be back to try more! Highly recommend!

What a great restaurant! This was our first visit and we had the pork tenderloin and wagyu fillet. Both were great! You could taste how fresh everything was. It was fancy without feeling pretentious. I was really surprised how affordable everything was! Gillian served us and she was so helpful answering all of our questions and making sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend a visit and are already planning another visit.

Food was great! Love that they are sourcing good quality food, more restaurants should do this. Portions are typically not huge on many entrees and appetizers. Chicken was kind of tiny, but it was very tasty. The deviled eggs were the tiniest micro eggs I've ever seen, I didn't know it was possible to buy eggs this small. My biggest disappointment here was that the glass of water (and soft drinks) smelled and tasted nasty, a fine dining restaurant like this should be filtering their water!

It had a been a while since our last visit, but last Friday was our first visit in their new location and with the winter menu. We were a party of 4 and seated on the third floor for a 5p reservation. Lisa was our server and was amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and just generally took good care of us. The cocktails were tasty and smooth - love is in the air tasted like apple cobbler and the cherry cobbler tasted like cherry cobbler. Even the mocktails were delicious. The pimento and cheese is a long time favorite, we did need a second serving of chips, but gooey and cheesy as it should have been, the sweet potato hummus was also a crowd pleaser. The golden raisins and pumpkin seeds perfectly complimented the dish. Everything was cooked to order - the ribeye and grass fed filet were cooked to medium and medium rare, potatoes (fingerling, red, and fries) all had good flavor, carrots were tasty, and the parsnip purée i could’ve eaten by the bowl full. I’ve never had a squash pie, and I wasn’t disappointed, it was similar to a sweet potato pie in flavor and was perfect for fall/winter. A delightful evening all around with one exception. The seating on the third floor was terrible (hence the 2 for atmosphere). The ambiance itself on this floor was pleasant - had a jazz bar, relaxed vibe, with live music after 7p. If we were visiting for cocktails and a show, great, but the table for four was the same size as the tables for two. We could barely fit our drinks with our appetizers or alone our entrees. Two members of my party spilled food in their drinks as there was kust nowhere to move. This was in the front section of the dining area near the stage, the seating got worse the closer to the bathroom where larger parties were sharing the equivalent of a coffee table for their dinner. We have enjoyed the food and drinks on every visit, but we’re definitely turned off by the seating on this visit. I can’t speak to the other floors, but if you’re looking for a dinner where you can reasonably share food and have a conversation with the rest of your party, the third floor is likely not a great place to sit. We’ll request different seating on future visits and hope it will be better.

We ate at the bar downstairs. Cool ambiance, delicious food and drinks. Highlights include the beef skewers, pan roasted red fish, lemon goat cheese icebox pie, and the Nada Grenada. Everyone talks about the deviled eggs and they were good but didn't impress us like the other dishes did!

First time dining at their new location: I have dined at their old location on the square multiple times in the past. Chef Andrea is still amazing. The bartender on the third floor was just ok, but maybe because we showed up around 9 pm and they closed at 10:30 pm. The deviled eggs are always a favorite, the salad perfect, and the halibut full of flavor. There was a strange patron at the bar who shouted Trump, which made for an interesting evening. Overall, I'd come back again.

I'm updating my review because the first time we visited this new location, we did not have a great experience. I think we just went on an off night. The owner reached out to me and was very kind and professional, addressed all the issues, and asked us to give the restaurant another chance. Our next visit was lovely! Upon arrival we were brought up to the third floor. Wow, the decor and ambience are incredible! There was live music being played. Great to listen to, but not too loud so we could still have a conversation. The craft cocktails were delicious. We got the beet hummus with sweet potato chips as an appetizer and I cannot say enough great things. I don't even like beets and I loved this! The mix of different flavors was so good. All of our meals were delicious. My steak was cooked to perfection. Service was also great. Overall, we had a wonderful time! I will definitely ask for the 3rd floor next time we visit.
