Beautiful dining, fabulous food and service. Amazing vegan spaghetti and stir fry. Great place for a date or special occasion meal! Our waiter was so helpful with my dietary restrictions. He communicated with the chef for me, and came up with a unique meal to suit my tastes. GREAT experience.

This is a 3.75 star review because of the quality of meat for the price. The atmosphere can be date night to a friendly dinner. Somewhere between casual and fine dining… If you want sweet tea, they offer agave as a sweetener. The bread, that comes out, was a great starter. The truffle fries were different tasting but worth trying if you love carbs. The salads are of generous portion and the blue cheese dressing is not as pungent as Ruth’s. It was a well balanced dressing. The horseradish crusted steak tasted as it sounds. The steak was cooked perfectly yet hard to cut through. The steak was Ford tough. “I am Groot” dined on our plate. We did not have the heart to eat him. The filet was not tender enough for my taste. The vegetables were crispy and cooked. The desserts were above average. The strawberry shortcake was a great ending to the dinner. Server was attentive and hospitable. The presentation was spot on. I would come here again, just would not order the steaks.

Server was a complete jerk to my husband and me as a gay couple. We left. We won’t be back, which is a shame because the owner is is usually a sweetheart and quite engaging.

My husband and I so wanted to like to place, as it’s the closest restaurant to our house. We’ve now given it four chances and the inconsistency in food quality has done us in.
The first time we ate here was at the peak of COVID and they brought our food to our car. Food was just ok, but since it was during COVID, we gave them a pass. The second time was when things were opening up a little and we were able to pick up our order inside the restaurant. My husband got the NY strip and it was literally inedible. It was mostly gristle and fat and very overcooked. He ordered rare. We thought again, COVID and some foods don’t travel well. The third time was when they allowed seating inside and the food was a little better. We thought as they get back in the swing of things, it will get better. Fourth time, we dined outside in their cute patio. The food was disappointing. I’ve included pics of our fourth meal below. The only dish that was good was their wedge salad. My husband ordered the ribs and they were dry and tough. He didn’t even finish his meal and ate the French fries, which were good. He got a $20 plate of fries is what it amounted to. I’ve ordered the Frutti de mar three times and it’s been different each time. Sometimes the sauce is thick and more flavorful, other times it’s watery and flavorless. There is no consistency. For almost $27, I expect better.
I don’t think we’ll be returning anytime soon. We may give it another try sometime, but not in the near future. I think four visits was enough to get a good sense of their food. I’ll stick to cooking at home or going to Albuquerque if we want to dine out.

It is my favorite restaurant within at least 100 mile radius. We try to go once a week. The prices are so reasonable for the quality. The service, staff, owner, and chef are so friendly and inviting. You won’t be disappointed. It’s a hidden gem for sure.

It’s a dark, comfy place to enjoy a fantastic meal with good friends. Portions are generous, the meat and fish are cooked to perfection, and the sauces are bold & flavorful. Chef’s specialties change often, so there’s always something new to try. The desserts are fun – don’t miss the hand-made truffles!

A nice upscale dining experience without prices that make you think twice before ordering.
We started with a house salad with a light balsamic dressing. The soup du jour was a nice New England clam chowder.
The main courses were horseradish crusted New York steak, seared Halibut and a pasta dish with shrimp, scallops and lobster. All the sauces were top shelf.
We had a rose wine that was flavorful yet light so it didn’t interfere with the delicate flavors of the sauces.
For desert we had a bread pudding, cappuccinos finished with a desert wine.
Service was excellent, covering all the bases without interrupting our experience.
Will visit again and this time get the pasta!

This place is so so good! I made a reservation last Friday but I called them to make sure it went through. They were getting ready to close but the chef was willing to make our food and everyone was so friendly! The prices are very good and the quality of food is excellent. Looking forward to going back.

Went for our first time, we will be back! The food, charm, service (shout out to Nick), and diverse wine list was exceptional. I got the Chilean Sea bass, and it was great!

I have only been here twice and I am stuck between 4 and 5 stars.
The first time we went, everyone we interacted with was truly exceptional. The food was pretty great and the bread pudding was yum. I fell in love with the Georgia mule that someone else got, but wasn’t as into the margarita (which I’ve heard is to die for).
The second time was for Restaurant Week. The hostess (sister of the chef, I think) was so nice, had great insight and was wonderful to interact with. We didn’t see our waitress for a pretty long time, which we didn’t mind too much given how busy it was…but when she finally arrived, she was rude and fairly dismissive. She brought out soup without a spoon, and it took a few minutes before we could get her attention to ask for one. We left quickly instead of staying to savor the food because her demeanor was distracting away from the food.
I did thoroughly enjoy the shrimp and grits though! Excellent cajun flavor although I wouldn’t have minded a little heat. The grits were creamy and well prepared.
The last time I went I chose the fish of the day and it was amazing – I would definitely recommend giving dinner a try!
