    Had the prix fixe Thanksgiving dinner and it was excellent! Very innovative and unusual. Really enjoyed it. This is the first time we have dined on the newly remodeled back patio. It's intimate and lovely. Service is a bit uneven but ambience more than made up for it.

    The pre-Thanksgiving, prix fixe menu was good. Most of the food was perfectly cooked. The butternut squash soup was AMAZING. The salads were super good, mine being quite unique with a goat cheese-beet spread smeared on the bottom of the bowl. My partner had the prime rib which was perfectly cooked, but a bit bland. I had the Branzino which was PERFECT. Melted in your mouth. The pies themselves were good, but the crust was kind of awful. Very floury. The only real complaint I had was the price of the drinks, I know we chose a higher end whiskey, but not THAT higher end - $36/ea for an old fashioned was a lot!! Either way, I’d go again. Looking forward to trying their Italian food!
