The loaded sweet potato tots are a must! Jacob, our server, was super chill and made sure our table of friends never had an empty glass. Great for catching up.

Don&#39;t skip dessert here! The pistachio cake was so moist and not too sweet. I&#39;m still thinking about it. The chocolate torte was also fantastic, but that pistachio one... wow.

Loved the beet salad! The halibut and duck were solid too. It&#39;s a great spot for a chill dinner with friends - the vibe is just right for catching up. Service was on point.

The bourbon vanilla bread pudding is still on the menu after all this time. They&#39;ve definitely refined it. The texture is spot on, not too soggy. A solid finish to a business dinner.

Mallory was great, super friendly. The pizza came out fast, perfect for a quick lunch. This Mellow Mushroom is definitely the best one I&#39;ve tried.

Cozy spot by the fireplace with a lake view. The live music in the lobby was a nice touch.

The anniversary champagne was a nice surprise. I&#39;m usually picky about bubbles, but this was crisp and dry, went perfectly with the oysters. Made the whole dinner feel a bit more festive.

This restaurant offers an incredible culinary experience with flavors that truly stand out. The atmosphere is beautiful, making it perfect for a special night out.

Miranda was super helpful walking us through the menu. The calamari was crispy and tender, just right. The whole vibe in there was really nice, felt relaxed.

The patio was so nice last night. Live music, but not too loud. Ash suggested the meatball hoagie and it was really good, just the right amount of sauce. The drink specials are solid too.

Came in for a quick slice and saw they had gluten-free crust. Tried it&mdash;actually pretty decent, not dry or crumbly like some places. Staff was cool about checking on the toppings for me. Solid option if you need that.
