My spouse, who is vegan, usually has limited choices like a beyond burger, a dry salad, or a curry dish, but here he had a full menu to choose from. He thoroughly enjoyed his vegan pea risotto, cannellini spread, espresso dessert, and portobello salad. I had the opposite experience, opting for the crab sherry soup, wagyu medallions, portobello salad, and a parfait. The wine selection is quite impressive as well. My only (minor) suggestion would be to play some soft background music. This was the best meal we've had in Fredericksburg, and we truly appreciated the inclusive menu that caters to various dietary restrictions, including options for vegans, vegetarians, and those with gluten sensitivities.

MEAL. EVER. confirmed. And the napkins are upscaled!!! 5 stars plus. So amazing. The atmosphere has been seriously updated since my last visit. And the napkins before were seriously an issue and they now are not. The food and wine pairings are extraordinary. Possibly the best meal I have had. Just a really elevated presentation of food and wine pairings. That said, while the meal clearly is star if the show, the decor and ambience is just, well... Odd. And so odd it is distracting and undermining to an otherwise transcendent meal. The decor left me with a cognitive dissonance that still befuddles me. So just be ready to ignore it. I will over and over again as this is a dining gem in a city of culinary excellence. Reading other reviews... Agree on paper napkins? Like regular paper napkins. Just like odd. Call me and my friend and I will come do a makeover.

Our server, who appeared unkempt and wore a baseball cap, didn’t inform us that the parking lot, which is part of their building, was permit-only. As a result, our car was towed, and we ended up spending over $500 that night. I strongly advise against this restaurant! When we brought the issue to the attention of the lead server and the chef, they offered no explanation and simply shrugged it off. It was quite disappointing. To top it off, the food consisted of tiny portions and was mediocre at best.
