    It was our anniversary. The food was amazing and Jeremy, our waiter, was outstanding. We were never rushed. In fact, we were there for 3 hours.

    Very nice relaxing meal that my wife and I experienced after an afternoon show at the Aronoff across the street. Nikki our waitress was friendly and attentive. The service was fast and perfect even though the place was busy. And the food was totally awesome,....great grilled bread, delicious hawk burger for my wife and a thick grilled pork chop for me, finished with a crispy light creamy creme brulee for both of us. They also surprised us with lemony cotton candy. This restaurant is a true gem and highly recommended.

    Fantastic experience! The trout was stunning, grilled grits unique, but the true standout was the salmon and crispy rice app. I will most definitely be back!

    My dining companion and I ordered identical meals: the beet salad and the fish of the day, which was trout. We both really enjoyed the beautiful presentation and quality of our dishes. My companion remarked on how wonderful it was to be in a restaurant where it was quiet enough to carry on a conversation.

    Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that both you and your dining companion enjoyed the beet salad and trout, as well as the presentation and quality of the dishes. It's also great to know that you appreciated the peaceful atmosphere—creating a comfortable space for conversation is something we strive for, although it is somewhat a baby bear of a task: not too quiet, not too loud. We are glad we got it right for you. We look forward to welcoming you both back soon!

    The food was pretty good, we really liked the shishito hash, but the service was very slow even though they had plenty of staff and it wasn't busy. Then they messed up our check and gave it to another table who paid with a hotel voucher. Then, they spent over 20 minutes trying to figure out what went wrong and void the voucher payment and still charged us the full price. Then, when we went to get our valet, the front desk had lost our ticket, and the valet guy made us walk to our car instead of getting it for us. Poor service.

    Dinner menu had a nice variety for a limited Valentine’s Day offering. Tomato bisque was delicious and my wife and daughter split a Citrus salad. The main courses were delicious. Service was outstanding and we loved walking the art exhibit after.
