The service felt personal without being formal. Our server explained the wine with genuine enthusiasm, and dessert was the ideal finish.

“Our anniversary dinner felt truly special.”
We loved the seasonal prix fixe, especially the herb-crusted lamb. The candlelit room and gentle pacing made the night unforgettable.
