It was New Year’s Eve, however, none of the dishes were good. The short rib flat bread was the best part. The Halibut special was so overcooked and dried out not even the red pepper purée could save it. The filet mignon (ordered medium) came sliced, why? It made the meat, which was overcooked, dry as any juices had already run out. The Yule Log dessert special tasted like you were eating fudge since the frosting was hard, thick, and fudge-like. The Brûléed Citrus tart was not Brûléed in any fashion and the filling was as runny as melted ice cream. Drinks were the only good part. One note to the restaurant; since you do validate parking for the garage, why do the servers not ask for your parking ticket to get it stamped for you when you pay the bill or at least mention this fact to you so that you can take care of it yourself? Why do you have to notice a tiny little sign at the check-in desk to take advantage of this courtesy?

It was our first time there and he was fantastic. This place is definitely a hidden gem. Food is excellent and drinks were impressive and tasty. We tried several things and have absolutely nothing bad to say about any of the dishes I love that they make all their own pasta nice diverse menu so even your pickiest eater can find something

I felt like we needed to get in and get out. The food was good, and the venue is lovely. It's a great place for parents to take their student attending the local college for a meal.
