I hadn't tried this restaurant before, but its appealing exterior caught my eye, so I decided to take them here. Everyone enjoyed their meals: my father had the salmon and goat cheese omelette, my mother chose the crab cake Benedict, and I indulged in the lobster ravioli with scallops and crab. We ended our meal with some excellent coffee, chocolate mousse cake, and apple walnut pie. Everything was delicious, and the service was exceptionally friendly. The restaurant's atmosphere strikes a nice balance between cozy and industrial modern, and their prices are very reasonable for the quality of food offered, with meals ranging from $15 to $25 each.

She was attentive, always one step ahead, and incredibly professional—a true veteran in the service industry. We’ll be sure to request her during our future visits. Additionally, the drinks were well-balanced, crafted by a bartender who clearly knows their craft—much better than what you’d find in most restaurants around Rockwall. We visited on a Thursday, and the live jazz trio added a lovely touch to the atmosphere. Don’t forget to save room for dessert, as it was absolutely fantastic. Giovanni gets a solid recommendation from us!

We celebrated my cousin's birthday with a brunch, and Shawn was our host and server. He was fantastic! He made some great recommendations that were perfect for our group. His friendly personality really helped us pull off the surprise. Thank you, Shawn! As for parking, the valet service was free as long as we were dining in.

I also found the layout of the bar and dining area to be very accommodating for those who need wheelchair access.

We enjoyed some delicious appetizers, including melt-in-your-mouth Shaved Ribeye Crostinis, wonderful Meatball Sliders, and perfectly fried Calamari that came with shrimp and vegetables. My wife's Parmesan Crusted Chicken was outstanding as well. This is a great spot for fine dining.
