“ My wife and I made our first visit as an early anniversary date night, and we had the best time. The food was sublime and the atmosphere romantic, but what made the evening so memorable was the service. For one, everyone on staff, especially Sherry, was thoughtful, gracious and kind, so we felt extremely pampered. But the open secret is that the restaurant is part of a culinary school for people in recovery from addiction, which is where they find their fine crew. There's something deeply moving about knowing an exquisite meal like this also helps give someone a second chance. We cannot wait to return! ”

“ Wow! What a phenomenal place to eat!! I went for the first time at 8pm on Feb 13 and there were 2 other tables when we arrived. The service was great, everyone was so friendly. The food was absolutely incredible. We got the calamari, chicken Marsala, braised short rib sandwich, and the valentines dessert (strawberry cheesecake parfait). Everything was exceptional! I was looking into the history of this restaurant and I love what they do to help the sober community. I WILL be coming back! ”
