Great food with fair price! Really enjoyed the duck and pork belly plate.
The lady who served our table was super nice and had a great attitude.
Soup was horrible for the price though.
Overall still would recommend!

Duck was delicious and filling.
However, the ribeye was very thin which caused it to be overdone.
Service was great, beautiful restaurant.

Magnificent! The flavors rocked! Wait staff were on it.
Though it's worth noting that between 6pm and 7pm on a Wednesday, I was the youngest guest by about 35 years.
For whatever that's worth ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I highly recommend all items pictured: - Sav Blanc from Napa.
Crisp, mild flavor. - Steak tartare - Steelhead trout on a squash puree with broccoli, mushrooms, and potatoes - Meyer Lemon Tart
