    We love this place. The only reason I rated the food slightly lower is that they really don't have much kid friendly on their brunch menu, and they were not willing/able to accommodate what we thought would have been some pretty easy substitutes. But it's a great atmosphere, good food, great wine selection, the best smelling candles ever, etc. Parking is painful, but don't let that stop you from trying. Highly recommend.

    Friday late lunch is a favorite way to start the weekend and it did not disappoint for Valentines Day. Capital cosmos and local beer to start our dining followed by onion soup and steaks - perfection. Dessert was yummy coconut pie to share. Mario our server was attentive and on point. Parking behind Dunhill garage makes this a super easy trip to Uptown.

    My husband and I went here for a pre-Valentine's day dinner. The atmosphere was great for conversation. It started with wonderful wine selections and progressed to amazing food. I loved the crab dip and the salmon, and the cheesecake was to die for! The service was excellent as well. I feel that everyone in the room was paying attention to clearing our plates and our server Curtis didn't leave us wanting anything. He was also very pleasant and had great recommendations. I will be back to try their wine tasting evenings, since the wine was so good tonight.
