"Mother 's Day menu with my wife and daughter. We started with appetizers: Soup of the Day (French Onion), fish tacos (a new addition), and crab cakes. Everyone was happy with their choice. My daughter and I each had the 5oz steak with Béarnaise sauce and watercress, my wife had the potato gnocchi. Again, all pleased with our choices. Wife and daughter had the strawberry shortcake, and I had the chocolate budino. The perfect end to the meal, with some leftover frites and gnocchi to take home. We brought a bottle of sparking from Inman Family Wines, and bought a bottle of the Walter Hansel Estate Pinot Noir (a great value) to drink with the meal. Service was excellent, despite the restaurant being busy, filled with moms and their families. Oh, forgot the amuse bouche, a tasty corn soup topped with Za 'atar spices. Walter Hansel remains a hidden gem and our favorite local white tablecloth experience. They are experimenting a bit with the menu, e.g. the fish tacos. Definitely get on their mailing list if you live in the area."

Group of five and everyone loved their meals. They were very accommodating with my father’s gluten allergy and whipped up a quick kid’s meal for our toddler.

Our food was great, but we were surprised when our server offered to split our food in the kitchen rather than us doing it and then charged us $7.00 to do it. (She did take it off our bill when we mentioned it.

I’m amazed that this restaurant isn’t packed on a Friday night. The food was outstanding, and the service was great. The wine selection is good and reasonably priced. People should definitely check this place out!

Our servers were excellent. They very attentive and Denise remembered which wine I liked from previous dining. The French onion soup was flavorful and delicious. The Cesar salad was traditional with anchovies. The raviolis were delicious. View menu

The Scallop Pot Pie is not to be missed. Great appetizer for the two of us. I had Halibut with a red chimichurri that was really good and my wife had the duck breast, also fantastic. Great service and everyone was so nice. We will be back!

This is an unknown gem. When the others are booked go here, it is better than many of those with better names. Appetizers were super flavorful. Entrees were good size and delicious. Only issue their Pinot is not my style. My wife liked the Sav Blanc. Great corkage policy too.

The service was excellent, as always! We started with a bottle of Hansel Róse Pinot Noir and the full cheese plate for our appetizer, followed by watermelon gazpacho as an “amuse bouche.” For dinner, we had the seared halibut with risotto and the delicious pan-seared scallops. For dessert, we enjoyed peach Melba and Tahitian vanilla sorbet. We've been loving this place since it opened and always recommend it!

Our server, Heather, was absolutely flawless; charming and helpful, with excellent service.For dinner we started with the two appetizer specials, prawn ceviche and salmon spread, and the Vietnamese style carpaccio, to share among four people everything was delicious, nicely presented, and enough for four. The only slight disappointment was the bread, which is not warm, or crusty.Entrees were the grilled Akaushi flat iron steak au poivre (5oz and 8oz), the Liberty Farms duck breast, and the wild Alaskan halibut. Again everything was perfectly cooked, nicely presented and delicious, but... the fries... shoestring fries are not generally my favorite but these were AMAZING. Hot, crisp, perfectly...
