Absolutely outstanding meal and experience! My wife and I had visited a year ago today for our wedding anniversary dinner and had one of the best meals in a very long time. We chose to return this year, and our visit tonight lived up to our expectations and then some.

We had a wonderful dinner. Wait staff was friendly, very attentive, and took my wife’s shellfish allergy seriously. Atmosphere was serene and spacious with tasteful and attractive art. A small wine list with good coverage, we were pleased that they offered half-bottles, The food was excellent: the fresh bread was dreamy, grilled artichokes were so smooth, flatbread and arugula was delicious, and the pan-seared tuna done just right in a creamy mushroom sauce. We never had to wait for service yet they never interrupted us. Recommended.

Lovely dining experience. The food and the mocktails were exceptional – very generous portions! Only complaint is we were forgotten a few times and there were a few apologies from our server (he was surprised when our food hadn’t been served to us and he took extremely long grabbing the bill from us). Other than that – great place, fresh food, worth the $!

Pricey but worth it. First time I’ve had tuna served this way (rare)/baked on outside. Stumbled across this place on accident and the only had room at the bar.

Great ambience, decor and food. Friendly staff. Told us about the intervention of the present owner Barbara and their redevelopment of a motel into this great restaurant 21 years back. Went to hike didn’t expect to find this beautiful place nestled amongst the pretty scenery. Amazing experience. Food was great. Took all our tire away.

Was in town visiting my parents with a friend & they took us here. Amazing food! High quality food. It was pricey but worth every penny. My dad got the lamb chops & loved it! My friend, who is a foodie got the rib eye & said it might have been the best he’d ever had. It was my friend’s birthday so they brought him free champagne & we got a piece of lemon mousse cake to celebrate. All 4 of us shared one giant piece of cake. We were all blown away at how good the cake was. I’m not a cake guy & it was the best I’ve ever had. Also, our waitress was amazing. She was phenomenal. And lastly, the complimentary bread was so good. This place was really that good.

Had dinner there on 7/30/2023. My wife and I had the Mahi Mahi special. I have never had Mahi Mahi cooked so tender that you could slice it with a fork……………and that’s good. Mushrooms were delicious. Broccoli was crisp.
