Prix Fix tasting menu and optional wine pairing restaurant.
“Amazing pre-fixe w wine pairing. The wine is very generous and the food exquisite. Service is also top notch. Great intimate place where you feel you get more than your moneys worth.”
“What a great place, and why I have discovered it only now. John is the most gracious host who made us feel extremely welcome and comfortable. The whole place is very cozy. It's like a private dining. We were able to enjoy our food and talk as if we were the only people in the restaurant. The food was also great. I don't really like butternut squash soup, but I loved John's. Halibut was very delicious that melted in your mouth. The other dishes were also great and wonderfully presented. Even the dinner rolls which they bake in the house, were also delicious. I actually begged John, and he gave me some to take home. I think the local patrons should chip in and buy this place a great espresso machine :). That was the only thing missing for me in this dinner.”
“We went here for a belated anniversary dinner tonight and absolutely loved it. The food was DELICIOUS, the atmosphere was great (if you like classic rock and/or 90s music, you'll also love the music selection), and the couple that run the show/served us were attentive and hooked us up with extra courses and drinks. We had a private little booth, and it was wonderful. We both felt at home and I'm looking forward to going back (probably for my wife's birthday, nobody tell her🤫). If you haven't checked this place out yet, DO IT!”
“The concept here is that the chef, John, and one waitress prepare all the food and service the tables in an intimate small space. The tasting menu is the only option! Every table has its own pocket, surrounded by curtains, to create a cozy private pocket. I loved the food, especially the ribeye. Two bonus courses. They easily accommodated a shellfish allergy, changing up one of the courses. Everything tasted fresh and was played beautifully. We also had good wine that was reasonably priced. Fantastic dining experience overall.”
“Not sure which was better—the food or the service. We loved everything on tasting menu and incredibly generous wine pairings. The surprise winner to me was the squash soup, which is a dish I would’ve sworn I hated before dining here. Everything was delicious—crab cake, ravioli, duck, the fish… Just perfect. The chef/owner is the kindest, most down-to-earth man. He was incredibly patient while explaining the wines to us, and he happily struck up conversation with us about the little treasures in the neighborhood. We can’t wait to return and try the menu during every season!”
