    Fantastic restaurant, we love coming here. The pizza’s are great but don’t miss out on the mushroom toast. There’s always a great selection of oysters, well shucked and super fresh.

    The service was prompt and excellent! My friends and I had a variety of the main courses, and couldn’t wait to take the leftovers home.

    My new favorite place to eat! The roasted baby beets, smoked crispy potatoes, arrowhead cabbage, broccolini, mushroom pizza, and New York strip steak are all delicious with amazing flavor!

    The perfect cozy environment and delicious, creative menu for dinner with old friends on an arctic January night. We eat here a lot, it’s always relaxing, low key and stylish, and the staff are true professionals.

    Experience is always a plus. The vibe is chef’s kiss. Ricky is always on top of things. Even though it was a little late for my table because it would pop it was graciously the kindness and service continued. That’s why that is my go to restaurant at least once or twice a month.
