The service was quite good, the atmosphere was perfectly good, the wine was absolutely amazing(2010BlueM'Gamay), the food was good, the appy was fantastic but my Ossobuco was lacking in heat, it was mildly warm and kinda had the consistency of a freshly vacuum packed piece of meat, the flavor was certainly in the sauce, delicious the sauce being it seemed...

My wife and I have had amazing meals here and I have found out that their is a new chef, the food was horribly different, my pork was overdone and lacked in flavor, same with my wife's chicken, and her risotto was replaced with mashed potatoes, when asked about the risotto, we were told that the chef didn't have time...

Wonderful meal. Very beautifully plated. Service was top notch. The prices are high for the amount you get but service atmosphere and plating make up for it.

Very disappointing! I ate at this restaurant a few times last summer, for both lunch and dinner, after i heard there were new owners and a new chef.

The best service I have had ever. Now, for the food. We... More

Yes, you can go to the wineries and get a good meal but in the town, it is pretty slim pickings. Boston Pizza or Earls are not great choices.... More

With the new owners the food is still... More

This restaurant changed hands in 2011. The current owners provide a tapas menu and a regular entree menu. The steak tartare tapa is generous and tasty. We had a pair of 6 oz Atlantic lobster tails and a Duo of Lamb for mains, both excellent and good sized portions. Creme brulee and a chocolate torte topped things off; both were... More
