My fiancée’s sister gave rave reviews of this place so we had to come check it out. Everything from the plating to the service to the flavors of the food was impeccable. We shared a ton of different dishes but we will have to come back for the dessert, we were too full for another course. We made a reservation same day and although our reservation was for the chef’s bar we were upgraded to sitting at a table and couldn’t have been happier! We will 100% return in the future.
