We had the Chef's tasting menu. You get a paper what comes with it, and it was a nice experience. We also ordered the escargot, Brussel sprout and bacon, and the short rib appetizers. The overall experience was great. We also ordered oysters which were good, but I was not a fan of the shot sauce that it comes with. I would definitely recommend this place on the chef's tasting menu.
It was awesome! The food was delicious. Servers and chefs were all really nice. Absolutely love the desserts, especially the dark chocolate mousse. Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: No Delivery: Yes Curbside pickup: Yes … More
