But tonight missed the mark. Over-priced and over-cooked 48$ tri tip. Only 6 oz. Tri tip is only about 10$/lb. Chowder was ok but missing real taste and small portion. Waitress was prompt but didn't ask if we enjoyed the meal, thus this review.

Interesting entrees turned out to be a bit too complex. The hostess gave her perfunctory happy anniversary but it was never mentioned by wait staff. Understandable that every diner is celebrating some birthday, anniversary, etc. but it would seem providing a small amenity in acknowledgement would be a nice touch. Sorry to say, but disappointed by the overall experience.

The food is nothing short of incredible—each dish is beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and clearly crafted with care. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place for a memorable dining experience. The service was top-notch, with Troy and Barteam going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made the evening even more special.

It took over 30 minutes for our waiter to take our food order. When the food did arrive it was not properly coursed out, all arriving at the same time, and also was not hot. Sad to see one of our favorite restaurants deliver and experience that lacked in both service and food quality.
