This was my our first time at this restaurant. Upon arrival, the hostess was extremely friendly and professional. The atmosphere and decor were really good. We were there for brunch shortly after they opened. We ordered a morning cocktail and mimosa and then our food. I highly recommend the wake up call cocktail. The food was great with good flavor. The only downside, was our service. My wife had to ask 3 different people for a refill on her bottomless mimosa. I had to ask 3 different people for a second cocktail. We sat for awhile after our plates were cleared and finally had to ask the manager for our check. If it wasnt for the drinks, food and atmosphere, we would not come back. Definitely feel like we will give this place another shot.

I wish I took pictures but I ate everything..lol..I got the Korean prawns. They have just the right amount of spice... Juicy... Then I got the meatloaf without the sauce because I couldnt have it and added salmon. As someone who values well seasoned did this hit the mark. Seasoned to perfection! The service was great as well!

The staff here need a major attitude adjustment and some proper customer service training. I hate writing bad reviews, but after the hostess responded with “do you have a problem with this?” when I asked about the status of our table, I feel like this review warranted. We were the fifth party in right when they opened and it took almost an hour to be sat. It was not busy inside whatsoever so we were confused at the wait. The bartender and waitress in the bar were super nice and were the nicest people in the whole restaurant. They were also confused as to why we weren’t being sat and eventually grabbed the manager to come sit us. However, when I told him about the situation with the hostess he acted like he didn’t care and didn’t even respond to my concern. Most of the food was good, but the lobster Benedict smelled and tasted fishy. There are more quality places in the EDH/Folsom area with better service. I would avoid this place unless you want to be talked down to.

10-22-22: My husband and I went here for the 1st time for our 32nd wedding anniversary. Never in my life have I wanted to or have tipped more than 20%, yet we happily tipped 25% here.We made reservations and when we got there, they seated us right away. They were super busy, so we got a window table in the back of the restaurant, near a back door, but it had a nice view of their outdoor seating areas with pretty lights and a water fountain. The plates are a nice heavy, pretty stoneware, and the utensils are very weighty as well. Very top of the line compared to most other places.Being in the back of the restaurant made absolutely NO difference. We were waited on practically hand and foot by 4 different people. We wanted for nothing at all. Every one that works there has their head on a swivel. Theyre always watching everyone, and are right there if they see your drink is low, or need a water refill (which btw, they leave a bottle of on your table), or a leftover container. Weve never had better service EVER.If that wasnt amazing enough, the food was to die for! This is the only restaurant weve ever been to, that asked if we had any food allergies! How nice is that?We started with the Glazed Garlic Prawns. (see picture-though the 2 end ones were gobbled down prior to taking the picture) These were SO DELICIOUS! Our only suggestions for this dish would be 1) include a spoon so one can get more sauce in your mouth versus just what you can smother on your prawn, and 2) possibly include 2 garlic breadsticks with this dish to dip into the sauce after the prawns are devoured. We almost cried when they took the dish away with quite a bit of sauce remaining on the plate.For the main dish, my husband had the Berkshire Pork and I had the Cacciatore Chicken. Both were incredible! My husband ate every single bite, and was super happy we were at the back of the restaurant and he was facing the door, so he could hide while he picked up the bone and ate every morsel of meat off it! Sauce makes the meal, and both dishes had sauces that we only could wish we knew how to make!We werent going to have dessert, but the meal was so delicious, we knew we had to try one. We decided on the Chefs Inspiration, which happened to be Carrot Cake. OH MY GOD....we died and went to heaven! It was warm and crunchy on top and had the best flavor Ive ever tasted! I have an amazing carrot cake recipe, and Ive never had carrot cake that even came close to tasting better....until now. This was 10 times better than mine, and thats saying something, for me anyway.After we were done and stuffed and happy as little clams, the waiter came over to see if we needed anything else. We felt the need to rave about EVERYTHING! We then just happened to mention we came to celebrate our anniversary, and we were so happy we picked this place! It was probably the best meal and service weve ever experienced. The waiter was super happy and left to get our bill.A minute later, another gentleman who we think was a manager came over, and brought us a bottle of Champagne in a bag to take with us, and 2 shots of what we think was done kind of whiskey. Were not big drinkers, so not sure, but it was tasty. We were in awe! How sweet was that and totally unexpected!Needless to say, well be back for sure. They are not cheap, but you totally get what you pay for and then some! You absolutely wont be disappointed! I would give them 100 stars if I could!

This was a great experience. My wife and I enjoyed our dinners very much. The pistachio encrusted mahi mahi was good. My wife loved the GF butternut squash gnocchi. The pilaf that came with the fish was good as well. Side salad was delicious but could have been colder. Nice atmosphere, great service. Ganache cake was a stand out favorite. Cant say enough about the espresso martini. That was incredible!

Overall, a nice place with good service. It seems this is the hangout place of many locals. The food was average, nothing particularly remarkable except for the fries which were awesome. The bartender was very helpful and made a cocktail that was not on the menu just to please me. Will definitely go back…

High quality and tasty food and drinks, but you definitely pay for it. 1 appetizer, two entrees and two cocktails with tip was around $125.The mai Tai was delicious and well made, strong, but not overpowering.The salmon risotto could have used slightly less capers, but otherwise delicious.The 🍔 was well cooked, but the insanely thick bacon overpowered the burger. I ended up taking some of it off cause it was too overpowering.Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and would come again, but it is a tad more expensive than I would have expected.

On a Saturday when I arrived, it wasnt very crowded, which was good. Soon after asking for assistance, we were able to get a booth. Our waiter was really kind and helpful; she even recommended several places for us to visit in the future.It was really good to drink!

The food was good but not hot enough. Sent a lamb dish back to the kitchen to be heated up and they Said they would make it fresh and then sent out another lukewarm plate 15 minutes later . Ordered scallops and they only gave me three of them and they were not very hot. Not much of a meal at least what they gave me was tasty. Fried green tomatoes and brussel sprout appetizers were excellent.
