"**Ambiance:** The dining room comfortably accommodated our party of four, with a beautifully set table. Soft music played in the background, which I believe can be adjusted to suit personal preferences. The area was separated from the kitchen by a wall with a glass sliding door, ensuring a completely private atmosphere—ideal for conversation.
**Food:** We chose the five-course dinner, although a three-course option is also available. Our first course consisted of a risotto ball served in a crispy shell with a creamy filling, which all four of us rated as excellent. Next was a bruschetta, which also garnered rave reviews from everyone; it featured a crispy bread topped with an artichoke disc and looked beautiful on the plate.
Following that, we had a pistachio-crusted fish dish, which received high praise from three of us, while one person, who doesn't eat fish, felt differently. The accompanying beans were noted to be perfectly cooked and delicious. Our next course was a filet mignon, which didn’t quite meet our expectations—not because it wasn’t well-prepared, but due to its unconventional cooking style. We discovered we prefer our steak prepared differently! However, the accompanying potato dishes were outstanding.
Dessert was a chocolate-glazed treat with egg, which three out of four of us deemed excellent, although one person found the beignets a bit rubbery. Since the same dish is served to all, personal tastes may lead to some differing opinions, but overall, the food was fantastic!
**Cost:** Our private, deluxe five-course dinner, including tax and gratuity, came to just under $500, plus the wine we brought from home—definitely a cost-effective option.
**Overall:** This is a wonderful choice for a quiet dinner with close friends and family, allowing you to enjoy a remarkable meal in the company of an excellent host and chef, Matthew, who goes above and beyond to create a unique and personalized experience."
