My first time, and unfortunately it was underwhelming. The service and atmosphere are impeccable. Absolutely stunning patio with lush greenery. The interior is cozy and upscale. Unfortunately the brunch was so blah..I had the steak and eggs and note to chefs..please use better quality steak and not beef stew. The meat was tough and over cooked. The veggies had great flavor and the eggs were okay. The blueberry turnover was pretty good. It tasted fresh and it was served warm. The $7 two squares of hash browns seemed to be previously frozen and tossed in an air fryer. 😒 I'd love for this restaurant to be better because its so beautiful.
Our first time here and we all had a wonderful dining experience! It's an old structure, very inviting and interesting. The weather was nice enough to sit out at the patio for the first time this year. Our server was attentive and cordial keeping an eye on our experience the entire time. We ordered two Tomahawk Pork Chop meals, one New York Strip, and a Walnut Pesto Pasta and all was perfection! All the staff were very nice! We'll definitely return.

The atmosphere, especially in the outdoor seating area, was phenomenal. I would happily come back just to sit there and sip wine all day. The building’s status as a historic landmark adds to the charm, enhancing both the cozy interior dining space and the inviting outdoor ambiance.

We enjoyed a beautiful dinner on the patio. We did specifically request the patio in our reservation and had no wait when we arrived. However, we did dine on the early side of dinner. The patio is lovely! The server was a little awkward, didn’t greet us, just stood by our table and waited for us to say something, but the service was fine after that. We ordered the deviled eggs, bread basket, mussels, and steak tips. The mussels were the best item we tried. I highly recommend them. The steak tips were cooked well done (they did warn us they often are because they don’t temp them?), but it was still flavorful. Was surprised the quinoa was served cold rather than warm though. Overall, a really nice first time experience.

Excellent all around. Patio is amazing and tranquil. Our service was top notch. Adrienne is a professional. I like her personality. We ordered wedge salad, artichoke dip, ceviche, charcuttery, and a burger. Food was great. Burger was okay.
