We visited on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, and it was the highlight of the weekend. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service is incredible, and the food is phenomenal. We had a 7:30 reservation, and ended up going with the Sunday Sauce option. It seemed like it would be a lot of food for just two people, but because we never felt rushed, and the service allowed time between each course to enjoy and digest, we managed it well. This was such a great way to enjoy various items on the menu and every single thing was delicious. All the while, our server was attentive and kind, and the atmosphere with the decor and live music playing just added to the ambience and incredible evening. We had originally made plans to visit the city and had reservations here in December, all part of my plan to propose. Unfortunately, Mother Nature’s winter wrath changed those plans. She said “Yes” at Christmas, but when I shared the original plans with her, we wanted to make the trip in the Spring. So, while the original plans didn’t work out, our visit made for a great celebration of our engagement and exciting life ahead. We can’t wait to return here next time as Mr and Mrs, and cannot recommend this restaurant enough.
