Me and my wife came here for our two year anniversary. This place was so amazing. They made it very special with a signed copy of the menu from everyone that was working that evening, and a special note on the menu.
The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and great to be around.
The food was absolutely amazing.
My wife has celiac and her food order can be complicated at times, so we try not to eat our very often. The waitress was so kind and understanding. She worked with the chef to accommodate the food order to the best possible. Seriously! We’ve never seen such service before around celiac.
We will be back for sure and thank you for making us feel so special on our anniversary. We’ve decided this is our new “special occasion” place and are thankful to have this restaurant in town. ❤️
The photos don’t even express how great the food was. I definitely recommend dinner here.

We sat in the basement and had delicious food. The cucumber salad on the ribs was amazing. The highlight of the night was the chocolate mouse.
The bolognese had an almost asian spin but was very good. The duck was delicious with a sweet cherry glaze. The scallops were amazing. The fish tacos were amazingly well done. The crepes were not very good as they were stale. The shirley temple mocktail was excellent. The service was excellent. Highly recommend the basement.

Stopped in for appetizers and a cocktail. Excellent service, professional, and attentive.
The food was delicious and they offered unique options to pick from. Rabbit was tender and flavorful, I recommend this dish to get your meal started.

Amazing but expensive. Plan to spend $50 or more per person. This is a great place for a celebration. It is upscale but not fine dining. You’ll want to have a reservation. Plan accordingly. I am an independent reviewer and accept no compensation.
The Good: Everything was amazing. We had the beef tenderloin, the rabit, and the chicken. Wow! I don’t say that lightly. The food is expensive, but a solid 5 stars. The beef was perfect. The cut. The cook. The sear was serious. It was simple but wonderful. The green beans were perfect. Nothing was mush. It had texture and flavor and minimum spice. The rabit was a take on chicken pot pie. From the crisp biscuits to the cream of the sauce, it was savory and delectable. Just know, none of the portions are particularly large. The rabit is an appetizer, so it will be smaller than a meal. The chicken is full of spices. It has a maybe turkish spice palate. At least l, that is the feel i get from it. The parm gnocchi is perfect. The mushrooms are not mush. You can quickly recognize, they just don’t serve bad food.
The service is on point. They even cycle out the utensils properly. I was very impressed.
The atmosphere is not pretentious. We dressed up a bit but you don’t need a tie. It is very clean. This is not a “paper napkin” place, but it also isn’t a black napkin/table cloth place. They just keep their place sets clean and replace them when they are stained. Kudos! Well done.
The bad: The only negative remark I can come up with, is the rosemary fries. They are large tender steak fries (just so you have a reference) but mine did not have a particular rosemary flavor.
I would say, we don’t need to know how the cheffs get paid. Just wrap it into the price. Glorifying something you should already be doing is tacky.
The Ugly: absolutely nothing. Great job! It’s expensive, but if you’re willing to pay extra for a sure thing, a refined palate will not leave disappoint. If you want salt, greasy fast food… you may not feel fullfilled.

Food was amazing, perfectly cooked, and generous portions. Staff was incredibly helpful and were able to answer all our questions. Their first question after telling us the special was if we had any dietary exceptions. No issues customizing plates. I would highly recommend.

Absolutely the best restaurant in Williamsburg. The quality of food and service is second to none in town. Exceeds our expectations every time, always feels refined and personal. Love this place.

We have been coming for years; first time where the food was disappointing. We were downstairs and had the lobster fettuccini appetizer— lobster was warm, not hot. And seemed undercooked. Hoping we don’t get sick. The waiter told us maybe they didn’t leave it in the pan long enough- which was troubling. He didn’t seem to really care. Very disappointed— love coming here.

Delicious food and cocktails, top notch service (Armen was fantastic) and a very nice space with a cheese/ general shop and beer/wine bar. The food & drinks were great!
