Went for our anniversary and had such a lovely meal! They kindly brought us some sparkling wine to celebrate. Such a nice touch. Very pretty atmosphere. We got four apps, two entrees, and a dessert and loved everything. Decided not to do the dinner party because we wanted to choose everything and we were happy with our decision! Our favorite was the ribeye, deviled eggs, and salad. The gnocchi was good but overcrowded with other ingredients which felt distracting from the pasta so probably wouldn’t get again. Also we are picky about our fries but they were done perfectly!!!
