Ambiance was great! Food was just ok. I had the fish and although the sauce was very good the fish itself was dry and over cooked. The waiter was good and attentive and accommodating. I do not drink alcohol, but if you are a wine enthusiast, this maybe the place for you if wine trumps food.

I didn’t like why they have to split the bill in too and when we tried to pay they only allowed one card. It was weird.

We had heard good things about this place and the other reviews reflect such. Our experience was not in line with that. First off, the bright lights on a Saturday evening do not say “nice restaurant”. The meh food does not support the prices (yes I know things are expensive so I’m comparing comparable meals/prices with other fine restaurants). There were four of us and only one thought the food was good. The burger was extremely dry and looked old. The fish was overcooked. The steak was ok. The pork chop was good; however, we asked for it to be cooked medium rare/medium and the waiter said the chef “refused” to cook to that temperature because it was pork. Then it came to splitting the bill (in 1/2 nothing complicated) and it took a really long time and finally the waiter came over and said the system wouldn’t allow them to print two receipts and so could we write the tip and sign the back of the other receipt. Wait what? The entire evening experience was strange from start to finish with the unusual and unnecessary comments from the waiter to the hostess who sat us. Don’t think we will be back.

Hi Brenda, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback from your last visit. We strive to send out amazing food to every guest, and we missed the mark here. While I am happy you enjoyed the pork and steak, I understand how frustrating it can be not getting precisely what you ask for. We are using this feedback to help our staff with the temperatures of their proteins so that our guests can enjoy the temperatures they enjoy most while ensuring the food is safe and delicious. As for our point of sales system, we sometimes have issues with splitting checks. We are fixing those issues to ensure our guests have a seamless experience. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope you'll join us again.

We went to this restaurant for our anniversary date. We were impressed with the ambiance and winery feel right here in the city. The wine selection was excellent, and I enjoyed each beverage. The food was also delicious. I want to give back.
