Hidden gem in elm street! We really enjoyed all the food and the wine! Great place to bring family and friends!
We have to say the BEST short rib in the town!! It melts in your mouth!
About parking: there is a parking lot next to the restaurant, we have to pay and they comp it from the bill.

The atmosphere was nice, the music wasn’t too loud had a great Playlist. The waitresses were not in the best mood, their appearance wasn’t the best. Their wasn’t good communication. Food was priced to high and undercooked. Nothing on the menu was available. The menu needs to be updated. I dont have to go back.

Best tasting menu I’ve ever had. Anniversary dinner for us and we like to do tasting menus. The wines paired well and the chef (and I think owner) came out to check on us so that was neat. Definitely a lady who had honed her craft.
Service was excellent. I judge a lot by being treated with respect and we were treated well the entire time.
Cost for the 9 course dinner was what I would expect and was worth it in my opinion to try so many dishes. The sea bass and tenderloin are up there with the best I’ve ever had.
Parking was easy at the lot right next to it.
We will return given the opportunity again.
A wonderful evening.

Went here on a Tuesday and it was solid and I’d be down to try it again. The flavor of everything was fantastic. Fried green berms were great. The beef short rib was a little dry and the menu doesn’t have cocktails. Just sake and wine based drinks. Service was excellent

Great Food and Service, but Small Portions and Not the Best Location.
The place opens at 5:30pm on Saturday and they validate parking in the lot right next to them.
The inside is nice. But, the location, overall and in general, isn’t prime real estate for this type of restaurant. This restaurant is needed in the area though, to balance from the fast and comfort food.
The service was great and the food was great.
My wife and her friend had the burger. My wife’s husband and I both had the Sea Bass.
They bring out this little thing of heated nuts that’s an awesome snack/appetizer. The chocolate cake was good too.
But, the portions are small for the price. The portions were pretty European, but the price was still very American.

If you have the opportunity to do the tasting menu here, do it!! What a treat! It was such a great sampling of their delicious dishes. Soups, fish, beef, dessert…wines paired perfectly. I’ll be back for a standard dinner to have the sea bass…. that dish stole the show for me. Fantastic!!
The staff was awesome, each dish was described, each wine introduced. Courses came out at a perfect pace.
The ambience inside is very minimal, not too fancy not– too laid back. Just a really clean modern vibe.
It was a perfect anniversary celebration. I’m looking forward to going back.

I had the Chef’s tasting menu. Overall it was excellent. I am looking forward to Chef’s next chapter of tasting menu. I personally think it’s the best valued 7 course meal in the city, Especially with wine pairing already built in to the $120 per person proce point. Chef had it just right, as I know how difficult it is to impress anyone with 7 courses of American based cuisine.

Phenomenal food. Tracy Miller is a genius, who is an artist in the kitchen, the Mozart of cooking. Every dish was truly a beautiful piece of art, with each course bursting with amazing flavor. Great variety on the menu, elevated & creative American food. Truly a magical eating experience, can’t wait to go back & try the chefs tasting 9 course meal 😀

Great food, and although we were one of only two tables in the whole restaurant the service was terrible. They did not bring out all the food at the same time, mixed foods, brought nuts even though we told them that we have a child that is allergic to nuts. We also have twins boys that had a bday we were celebrating, they only brought one cake and one candle. The other thing is the parking issue, we had to park at the lot next door and since it was more than 2 hrs it costs us over $48 for just parking! The restaurant did give us a $20 credit but we still ended up paying $28 out of our pocket for parking!!
