“ My family came to have some appetizers and drinks. We decided to also stay for dinner. I had the butter curry chicken “pot pie”. It was rich and flavorful. Nathan was a spectacular server. He was very accommodating and made our dining experience more enjoyable. He has an inviting smile and personality! The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and comfortable. Highly recommend this place. ”

Ariel Stewart

“ We celebrated our anniversary last week by indulging in the tasting menu with wine parings. It was outstanding! The food was beautifully prepared and plated, and of course delicious. Our night out was made even better by our wonderful server, Becky. She was friendly, attentive, and really cared about our experience. We can't wait to come back! ”

Erin Douglas

“ Amazing! We did the four course meal with the wine pairings and we were blown away! I’ve never had Brussels sprouts so good before. They tasted like orange chicken! How??? The power went out twice so maybe the ghosts were jealous. We got to have dinner in the dark with candle light. It was actually great. The full glass of wine with each course sure helped too ”

Clay Halliday

“ We celebrated my brother’s birthday here and were served by Nathan who made the experience the best it could’ve been. The restaurant itself was wonderful, as was the food and beverages, but his service was incredible. ”

Finn

“ This is a great spot for a special meal. The duck confit was bonkers good. And the goat cheese cheesecake was fantastic. ”

Isaac Epp

“ My old fashion was awesome, the bartender Kate selected a whiskey she thought would add a punch and not be sweet. It was perfection. Becky took her time to describe menu options, answer questions and was very personable, bubbly and easy to communicate with! A great team here. Enjoyed the environment provided by everyone on staff. ”

Kara Fullmer

“ Every aspect of our dining experience (first time there) was really top notch! Drinks prepared beautifully, appetizer (calamari) was the best I've had since moving to California. Our dinners (Duck and Salmon) were a 10!! Excellent flavors and beautiful presentation. Even our shared desert (brownie with home made salted caramel ice cream) was a 10! Best of all, our food server Becky helped with some recommendations, never seemed rushed or bothered by our endless questions so she made our dining experience so relaxing and enjoyable. And I noticed she was that way at every one of her tables- pleasant, knowledgeable, not hurried. ”
