"Such a hidden gem! My wife and I have been here quite a few times, and it's always a pleasant experience. The food is always wonderful, the wine is great, and the staff is kind and attentive. The staff really goes out of their way to make sure everything goes wonderfully. It's a nice cozy atmosphere as well, so it always feels nice being there. To speak on how above and beyond they go, we ordered a crate of wine through them, but there must have been a misunderstanding when I gave my email because it was showing undeliverable. Then one of the members managed to reach out to me just to confirm and let me know when to pick up the order. It was very appreciated, and a great experience."

"Very disappointing. This will be a long rant, but the gist of it is: just drink the wine. The food is severely overpriced and tastes almost gross. The ambience was very nice, and the servers were accommodating. That’s about all the positive things I can say about this restaurant. I am of the belief that if you are charging a premium for food, the food should taste premium. Even at a place that is mostly about the wine. We ordered: - pork belly and sauerkraut: it was good. It wasn’t great by any means. The pork fatty pieces were flavorful. But the meat was overcooked, dry and chewy. - Caesar salad and chicken: the chicken costed 7$ extra and it tasted like tuna/synthetic chicken? They also served the lettuce in four full chunks. You would think it tasted good, but no. I’ve had better chicken Caesar salad from Sam’s club for 1/5th the price. Do you not wonder why most people don’t plate salad like this? It’s probably because customers do not want to DIY our salad. - Burger and Fries: it was simple, it wasn’t spectacular by any means. Tastes like a burger you would get at Cheesecake Factory. Probably the best tasting part of our meal. - Duck Breast: the first bite was delicious. With the sauce it is served with, it’s pretty good. After the first bite, it was bland and so chewy it made my jaw ache. The green beans were mediocre, and the white stuff you see in the photo tasted like nothing. I spent $100 on food between the two of us. I brought my partner here for his birthday. I wanted to treat him to some fine dining, but we both agreed that we would’ve been happier eating at a Mexican restaurant where the prices matched the quality. Also, I asked a server if they could bring out creme brûlée with a candle for his birthday, she said she would go check, then she never got back to me. Overall, unfortunate."

"What an absolute treasure trove of a restaurant. Came here for my birthday lunch/dinner with my family (we reserved a table ahead of time to be safe) and I couldn't be happier about the experience. Our server was so incredibly friendly and attentive from start to end and since I'm not exactly well versed in wine she even worked with me to find a wine, off the menu, I'd like. And holy heck that wine was good, a dark red but also bubbly?!? The food was out of this world at every stage of the meal. The appetizers were great, the charcuterie board was phenomenal and the main course, oh my gosh. I've never had a steak that good and I'm fairly sure each plate was sent back licked clean. Dessert was great too, really appreciated the birthday lava cake, as were the dessert drinks. Really really really great place. Would absolutely come back here again."

"Far too expensive for us to dine there regularly, but I always love this place for a nice treat. We went to celebrate our anniversary and couldn't have been happier with our service, drinks & the food. We got goat cheese and duck lover mousse to start, I got the duck with spatzel, my husband got the ribeye (cooked perfectly rare!), and we shared the bread pudding with maple ice cream. Needless to say, we were still full the next morning."

"Tldr 20/10 perfect night out. We went here for our wedding anniversary. About an hour before, the restaurant called to confirm our reservation. When we got there we were seated immediately and met our waiter. The service was excellent, our server dropped by at perfect times throughout our meal. I believe the manager came by a few times to talk to us and he was great. And since it was our anniversary they put candles on our desserts and gave us some champagne. Just excellent. I cannot recommend the pork chop enough. Probably the best pork chop I've had in my life. So flavorful, and the slaw that came with it really complemented the meat."
