Came in on a very busy night, we were 10 minutes early for our reservation but didn’t get seated till 5 after. Was only mildly annoyed at the delay but management approached our table directly and offered a free round of drinks! It was our first time at this location and we took advantage of their Queen City restaurant week menu to try a few different meals. For starters we got the calamari, which was amazing itself though my partner didn’t like the sauces, and an excellent Cesar salad. For entrees we got the salmon (with green beans and sweet potato) and the chicken piccata (Angel hair pasta and asparagus). The salmon was a bit dryer than I anticipated, and the meal overall a bit simple- wouldve benefitted from a gravy/sauce. The lemon piccata was delicious to me, overly lemony to my partner but had a slightly congealed texture. Regardless of these textural issues the meals were both delicious in flavor and well portioned. The carrot cake was outstanding!! we initially got one carrot cake and one red velvet but the red velvet tasted artificial and the server was more than helpful in swapping it for a second carrot cake. Overall the food wasn’t the best, but the ingredients were clearly of great quality. It may have just been the hectic night that hindered the end result. We will definitely be returning on a less popular night to try some more of their menu! The service was the shining gem of the establishment, our server (we forgot her name but she’s a gorgeous brunette with great eyebrows) was cool and collected through the busy night and frequently checked in on us. So did management. There was never a lapse in overwhelmingly welcoming service and we tipped over 20% to account for that. At the end of the night we left having had a great experience. Thank you! We’ll be back!

After an article touting their focus on autism friendly design, I peeked at the menu and chose this for our Mother's Day+1 family dinner - on Monday, after the crowds. The restaurant is gorgeous and our food was delicious! Our server Maddie gave us excellent, caring service. Robin (co-owner) stopped by our table and we swapped our family health experiences. I deeply appreciate that a restaurant would take such care to accommodate fidgety kids and anyone who gets overstimulated in public settings. I hope that more restaurants will follow their lead! We're already looking forward to our next visit.

My wife and I visited one Friday evening for a date night. We had a later reservation, around 9pm, so we were seated as soon as we arrived since the restaurant was pretty empty. Our server was great and food was really good. We ordered the Roasted Salmon, Chicken Piccata and a side of Broccolini. Everything tasted great and we would definitely visit again!

We went out to celebrate all of our birthdays for the year and it was a great night! The decor inside is really elegant but still cozy. Everyone loved their drinks, the food and our server Julia was awesome. They even brought us out a birthday dessert!

We celebrated our anniversary there. Staff is professional and attentive. There was a young female waitress just dropped off our food and didn’t smile and didn’t say a word, but we were in a such good mood I didn’t even pay attention. Our waitress was fantastic 🫠😍!
