Reviews
Only thing that wasn’t that great was the food. It was good but everything tasted overly salted.
Atmosphere and Food — easy 10/10. Getting a seat — ehh, that took 15 minutes with no one in sight. My mom and I decided to step outside and take a couple of pics before heading back inside to wait a few more minutes til a hostess came around.
Like I mentioned, food was top-notch. Waitress did let my water glass go empty 15 minutes before my mom and I left. Definitely would have preferred more. She actually didn’t refill either of our glasses once.. they’re not big glasses.
Other than those two minor things, perfect experience.
Unfortunately, that’s where the magic ended.
From the moment we sat down, our waitress seemed personally offended that we chose to dine there. The tone was set early when I ordered a steak and after clearly confirming what potatoes came with it asked for a side of mashed potatoes. Simple, right? Apparently not. She felt the need to repeatedly clarify that the mash was not replacing the steak’s potatoes. Yes. I understood that the first time. I promise I’m familiar with how sides work. I regularly dine at Michelin restaurants — I assure you, I can financially and intellectually handle an extra scoop of potatoes.
Then came dessert, or what I now refer to as “The Cheesecake Incident.”
My wife went to the dessert area to grab a slice of cheesecake for me. The woman there asked if we had ordered it through our waitress. No. Because the waitress was nowhere to be found and had told us dessert was separate anyway. Eventually, they took the order.
Ten minutes later, someone who appeared to be the manager came over to inform us that they couldn’t give us one of the two cheesecakes sitting right there because they had “already been sold.” Fascinating concept : displaying food that apparently exists in another dimension.
Instead, we were encouraged to try a pistachio dessert that was described as “very similar to cheesecake.”
It was not.
Not even spiritually similar.
It tasted like disappointment with a nut allergy. I managed one bite. That’s all I could negotiate with my taste buds.
By this point, we were just ready to leave. And wait we did, sitting there until our waitress finally reappeared so we could pay and escape.
I tipped 20% because that’s what I do. But if you’re reading this, just know that tip was based on my standards, not your service.
Overall: Complete waste of money. We’ve spent three times as much at other restaurants and happily walked away feeling taken care of. This felt like paying premium prices for attitude, confusion, and a pistachio lie.
Do yourself a favor: order the meatballs… and then maybe just leave.
Crystal toured us after the meal to look at the Multipurpose rooms they have available. Crystal was absolutely a charm.
Because of these two we will be back
I really enjoy this restaurant—what stands out most is the overall vibe and atmosphere. From the moment you arrive, the experience feels elevated. The entrance and driveway are grand, setting the tone even before you walk in. The space is part of a larger property that includes suites for overnight stays and a tasting room, which adds to its charm.
Staff is welcoming and polite, and during weekdays, the pace is relaxed with no wait to be seated or served. Weekends, however, tend to get fully booked. During a recent special occasion, we waited 5–10 minutes before anyone approached us, and we had to ask for water and someone to take our order—which was a bit disappointing.
The food is flavorful, and ingredients feel clean and fresh. One detail that could be improved is the pacing of courses. My soup arrived alongside my main dish, which made the table feel cramped—especially after ordering several appetizers—and caused the main to cool down before I could enjoy it.
Portions are generous, and the menu offers a nice range—from casual bites to more refined dishes. On a weekday visit, I was served bottomless wine that was unfortunately flat. It came in a bottomless-style glass with a casual printed message, which didn’t match the overall experience. Luckily, they replaced it with a proper wine glass and regular wine. On the weekend, some beers were unavailable, but the wine I had was very good.
I don’t recall much about the music, which is probably a plus—it was quiet enough to have conversations with family around a large round table. One thing that stood out (and not in a good way) was the presence of quite a few flies, both inside and out. That’s something I hope they address.
I love that the kitchen is fully open—you can see the talented team preparing dishes with care. While the service isn’t overly warm or personalized, everyone is respectful and professional.
Overall, it’s a beautiful spot—versatile enough for casual meals or special celebrations. I’ll definitely return.
