Let's use the best ingredients and sell the best wines in the industry at prices that are always fair and approachable.” Let's build our restaurants in a neighborhood community where we can all enjoy each other’s company.

    Such kind staff, a beautiful ambience, and delicious food!! The waiter was really helpful when we needed to substitute a full item on one dish due to an allergy.

    Food was amazing! Practically licked my plate clean. Despite the sign outside that said “please wait to be seated” we waited and no one came. So we walked inside and found someone to seat us. Mind you, we had reservations, but seemed odd we weren’t welcomed or greeted. Our server was polite and quick but nothing impressive. No meal suggestions. No “have you dined with us before?” Almost like we interrupted her day. Didn’t even say what the soup of the day was. Basically took our order. Someone else brought food and cleared the dishes. I’d return just for another meal though!

    I had the absolute greatest time with my grandparents tonight. My grandma said "i rarely like absolutely everything i have at a restaurant and today i liked everything" and my grandpa said "it was absolutely fabulous". The Alaskan Key Lime Pie was the most amazing dish of the night, we even took a second one home to go. Our server Mikayla was also extremely kind and made sure to make our night special. Highly recommend for all occasions.

    We had the 4-course tasting menu, and it was fantastic! The meal left us full and satisfied. The cocktails—Project G, Cosmopolitan, and Calm Seas—were phenomenal, with smooth textures, great mouthfeel, and complex flavors. The service was exceptional and truly elevated the experience! We enjoyed the Kona Kanpachi Crudo, Lobster Ravioli with Black Truffle, Basque Cheesecake, and Paris-Brest. Already looking forward to our next visit to The Plumed Horse!
