We had an amazing anniversary dinner! The food was delicious and the service top notch! Our waiter was very well versed and not only gave us his recommendations but paired my dinner with a perfect wine. Definitely recommend!

Perfect date night! The historic home this restaurant is in is absolutely beautiful. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the food was delicious. (We had the lentil soup and poached shrimp salad for our first courses and the roasted duck and ribeye steak for our second courses) Prepare to spend $100+ per couple, but the food and atmosphere are worth it.
