A true hidden gem. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. First, we arrived without reservations during restaurant week. They seated us right away anyway. We even got to sit at the chefs table! We ordered our choices for each course up front. Our server, Kamma, timed every course perfectly! He accidentally sent mussels instead of snails for our second course. It was a perfectly acceptable mistake since they let us keep the mussels and the snails arrived only a moment later. We ordered a fish and steak entree. The steak was pretty bland. The fish was the real star. It was a beautiful night out with spectacular service, delicious food and wine.

WOW the FOOD was AMAZING! I had the scallop for an appetizer - TO DIE FOR! I could have had 2 more as my meal! The next time I go I just might! My husband had the Petite Veggies for his appetizer. Very nice and flavorful. The He had the King Crab and I had the Lamb and Belly entrees. I mean, words cannot describe the quality of this amazing meal. The Drinks are reallyt something you don't see everywhere. The Moscow Mule was fun but the Elderflower gin cocktail is a MUST! Also the staff was unreal. Stephen and Shane were impeccable. A flawless meal with flawless service. THANK YOU!
