Alex N.Alex Norcliffe: Interesting menu that changes every day. They recommended the cheapest wine and it was great. Attentive service. Sustainable ingredients policy. Food great but just lacking a bit of oomph.

Peter B.Peter Bovey: Beautiful interior, super attentive staff, food cooked to perfection, all seasonal and local, and showcasing smaller local wineries making delicious wines. This was a Sunday Suppers event.

KEKE: Loved the ambiance, service, wine, appetizers, and experience. Heads up if your reservation is for later in the evening (~9) some menu entrees may be sold out.
