Amazing food and service. My new favorite.
Destinee was remarkable in her knowledge of the history and of the menu truly recommend treating yourself to fine dining restaurant for an amazing experience — with Angie Sayles Bridges and Arvella Roberson.
My Boyfriend and I ate there last night for the first time for 5 year Anniversary and it was such a wonderful experience. Everyone was so welcoming and nice and really appreciated us coming there to celebrate something special! They even gave us a signed personalized menu. Thought that was awesome! Our waitress was great and very knowledgeable. Food was so so good!!

Just a beautiful place full of history and beautifully maintained. The food was top notch from the starters all the way through dessert plus they had a great cheese menu. Great service from staff who are all well versed in the menu choices and wine selections. Cannot wait for another opportunity to return. Reservations are a must, they are very busy.
In my 15+ years dining there, NEVER had a bad meal. Chef’s Table is recommended - well worth it!
Romantic atmosphere with outstanding service! Food was on point!
