"I saw this place on a wedding photographers post on instagram. I was in the area so I decided to do a walk-in not having too many expectations in mind. The reviews online looked good and I was hoping to get a table. I waited for 20 mins and the staff was super friendly asking if we wanted drinks while we waited and answered our questions. Everyone seemed to have a reservation so I would recommend making one when you want to eat here. I got the focaccia bread with the whipped butter in the clam shell which was delicious. The butter lettuce salad which was light and flavorful. They mentioned the cauliflower dish was the most popular, but I will have to try that the next round. The pork pasta dish was also delicious, but the real winner was the gnocchi. It was small, but incredible. I will be craving it until the next time I’m in town. The only negative is the servers weren’t too attentive even when the night began to quiet down. Other than that I would say check out this spot!"

"An enjoyable experience from start to finish. Staff were welcoming, attentive and kind. The food was inventive and incredibly tasty with the cauliflower chili surprisingly stealing the show. The atmosphere was cozy and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We definitely will be returning. There’s no place like HOME."

"This is a great place for an occasion or for casual dining at a high level. It’s one of those places you can trust the menu because everything is exceptionally well prepared and tasty. Even things you think you don’t like, they have elevated to a dish you find yourself loving. We had the beef cheeks and the Halibut special. Who would know that beef cheeks are like having your mom’s best pot roast. The Halibut was also great and well prepared. Combining great food with excellent service and you will be looking forward to your next visit to this excellent restaurant"

"We reserved a table for four and had a small dog with us. I was told when making the reservation on the phone we would be able to have the dog accompany us, but it had to be an outdoor table. We were excited! That's what we hoped for. Upon arrival, after a 2 hour drive to the restaurant, we were told by the hostess that No Pets Allowed unless it was a service animal. Upsetting we had to leave him in the car. Meal time. Service was good, food was very rich in flavor. Overly salted. Decent presentation with a small yet creative menu. We were there to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. I snuck away from the table to ask the hostess if they could bring out something special for dessert. She said Yes. We finished our meal, received the check, paid the $300 and waited patiently for the special dessert that never came. We left never to return."

"A nice place and atmosphere. We were seated outside, and it got cold fast, they did bring one of their heaters. The selection of food and drinks, including beers, was great. We ordered 2-orders of the Focaccia with butter and that was excellent, so was the cauliflower appetizer, we also ordered the fried chicken for appetizer, although everyone loves it, I found it a little disappointing especially with all the hype. Dinner was a Pappardelle, strip loin, beef cheek, and the Lasagnette. Everyone enjoyed the food and seemed very happy with it, the Lasagnette was just ok, don’t order here, other selections seemed a lot better. We brought a cake for a birthday celebration, and they charged us $25 for serving it. Staff was great, professional, and very attentive."
