From the moment we walked in, the restaurant manager made us feel genuinely welcome. She was impeccably dressed, warm, and professional--the kind of presence that elevates the entire dining experience. Her knowledge of the restaurant’s history and her sincere passion for hospitality shined through in every interaction. Having spent many years in the restaurant business myself, I can say without hesitation: if I could have cloned and hired her back in my days, I absolutely would have! She’s a rare gem and a true credit to the establishment. Our only small (minor) quibble was being seated in the entry area, which was just a touch drafty despite the restaurant’s generous use of heaters. However, we were especially pleased to have the last seat in the house on short notice. That minor detail aside, everything else about the evening was simply exceptional! Liam was an outstanding waiter, blending warmth, grace, knowledge and genuine attentiveness. His thoughtful guidance through the menu — particularly with our allergy considerations — set the tone for a truly memorable experience. We began with a Bourbon Bramble and a French Martini, both beautifully balanced and expertly crafted. For appetizers, the chef’s special lobster ravioli was exquisite — silky pasta, sweet lobster, and a refined sauce in perfect harmony. The roasted beet salad was vibrant and impeccably composed, a must for anyone who appreciates the quiet elegance of seasonal root vegetables. For our mains, the elk tenderloin was exquisite — tender, flavorful, and absolutely deserving of a featured place on the menu. The beef tenderloin was equally sensational, cooked to a perfect medium rare with just the right touch of smoke. And the potato terrine accompaniment was a work of art — delicate, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth scrumptious. Dessert was the perfect finale. The flourless chocolate cake, paired with a chocolate sorbet substitution to accommodate lactose intolerance, was rich, velvety, and beautifully balanced — indulgent without being heavy. The Apple Pastry Magic truly lived up to its name: a delicate shell with a surprise inside that was nothing short of enchanting. Gluten-free (without the crumble) and bursting with layered flavors, it was whimsical, elegant, and utterly unforgettable. This was a 5 star evening -- elevated cuisine, exceptional service, and thoughtful touches throughout. We look forward to returning soon!

Don’t go here if you are vegan or gluten free or if you don’t eat shell fish. They don’t want to accommodate you. They served us stale bread and a tiny plate of overly salty vegetables for $62 per plate, more than the most expensive item on the menu (without telling us in advance of this punitive price). Our server was great and the atmosphere was nice but what they did to us was inexcusable. You could not pay me to eat there again.
