Cozy spot for a special date night or a memorable meal with friends. Farm to table produce with an Italian based menu — it’s hard to suggest a favorite dish because the menu is seasonally rotated but we promise, it’s always delicious!
An extra special touch is the fresh flower cart they have in the center of the restaurant where you can pick out stems or have them make a bouquet for you! Reservations in advance highly recommended.
