Newly open and we were VERY impressed. We drank blackberry rose cocktails with berries frozen into our ice! We shared the brussels sprouts app, braised lamb shank and tiramisu. The lamb was fall-off-the-bone great and even though we shared we went home with leftovers! Excited to try their Tomahawk Ribeye for 2 next time! Open for dinner only 4-9pm. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
