    Wonderful atmosphere! Most seating is outside, so dress with awareness. The restaurant has a European feel with classic dish ware, modern music, and unique nooks of seating. They are doing all the small things to make for a special experience. Creative French cuisine. Great romantic date night ambiance.

    A very unique experience! My husband and I celebrated our ten year anniversary here and it felt like we were visiting another world all-together. The ambiance with its ethereal music and beautiful art yarn tapestry draping from the ceilings surrounded by plants and vines, transported us from our normal lives. Our seven-course-meal was wonderful and appreciated tastes and textures we've never had before. We walked away mesmerized and our bellies full!
