Marissa did an outstanding job with our appetizer to make sure there were no allergens. Enjoyed the rainbow trout: the whipped potatoes and butternut squash were perfect as sides. Everything was smooth, and we received a close table as requested ahead of time. Love coming here!

Consistently good food with good sized portions. The beet salad and wedge salad were particularly generous and delicious. We were there on a busy night and though my partner wanted a glass of wine when his dinner came, our server never came back till half our meal was consumed. He ended up foregoing his wine. The restaurant was festively decorated and the noise level where we were seated, was fine. Seemed loud in other areas but it was a busy night. All in all, we’ll be back again soon.
