From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring our dining experience was flawless. We started with the Autumn Salad, which was fresh and beautifully presented, setting the tone for the evening. Each course arrived promptly, with our server taking the time to explain the ingredients and preparation. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place that values its guests.

Their signature Shaft cocktails are a game-changer! Perfectly crafted and balanced, it’s the ideal way to end a meal. We paired ours with the Pan-Seared Salmon and Cauliflower Steak, and it was a match made in heaven. The consistency and creativity in their food and drink offerings are impressive. This place knows how to elevate every detail, from the dishes to the drinks. If you haven’t tried a Shaft here, you’re missing out!

We chose The Living Room for dinner on NYE. They had a set menu, so I can only comment on what we had. But if any of those dishes are on the regular menu, GO. The food was fantastic as was the service and atmosphere. We (8 of us) we seated in the back and it was so cozy and semi-private. The staff were very attentive and really looked after us. We started with the Sea Bass Crudo, which was bright with the right mix of acid. It was very fresh and tasted so. Next up was the Shrimp Caeser. Again, great presentation and very fresh and light. It was perfect. The main was the Braised Short rib. Super tender and very tasty and not an overly large dish so you still had room for dessert. Ok, dessert: Vanilla Rice pudding with the sour cherry sauce was delicious. Over all, a great meal which proves this is one of our favorites places to go in town. Thanks to everyone there for making our dinner a great way to end 2024.

Happy hour cheese fondue with vegetables and pork belly was delicious. Ran out of fondue with lots of sides left so found the portion to be small. Service was attentive and great!

I enjoyed weekend brunch at this place. The drip coffee, appetizers, mains, and desserts were all delicious, and the plating was excellent. The venue is spacious, and the interior is stylish. Free parking is also available at the back of the restaurant. The service was fast and friendly. It's a place where I'd like to come back to try other menus or dinners. I recommend it to anyone who hasn't been there yet.

Me and my wife spent her birthday dinner here for the first time! We had the cheese and chocolate fondue which was excellent! We had the tenderloin and chicken thighs which were the most perfect cooked I’ve ever experienced and with the cheese was even better. We also ordered a cocktail called Frosty ‘K’ Fruit which was a pretty pricey cocktail but it tasted great which we ended up ordering 3 of them. Halfway through we settled that every future anniversary or celebration we’ll be going here for now. We highly recommend
