What People Say

Reviewers rave about the knowledgeable staff and impressive wine selection, with many noting the beautifully presented dishes and comfortable, upscale vibe. Guests appreciate the variety—whether you’re in the mood for a hearty steak, artisan cheese plate, or a light salad, there’s something to match every appetite. Many point out that it’s an ideal spot for a special night out or a relaxing stop before heading to a nearby concert.

Areas for Improvement

While the food and wine are top-notch, a few diners have noted that prices can creep up quickly if you’re not careful—especially when ordering multiple wines. During peak times, it’s wise to make a reservation to avoid a wait, and parking can occasionally be tight in the evenings.
