One of my favorite restaurants! Service is great and very attentive. They constantly prebus the table and refill your waters. The food is phenomenal, they have an impressive wine list and a nice selection of liquor. I was also impressed with the ice in their cocktails, as they have a "B" stamped onto the cubes. I appreciate the little details. Lastly, my favorite part every time I visit... the sticky toffee pudding. Sensational. Can't wait to come back.

I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant, and I must say it exceeded my expectations In every way! from the moment we walked in the ambience was warm and inviting with both cozy indoor seating and a lovely outdoor area. That's perfect for enjoying a meal. The menu is well curated, Offering a delightful selection of dishes and wines that cater to both adventurous eaters seeking classic flavors. We started with the octopus which was perfectly tender and seasoned with a fresh lemon oregano olive oil dressing simply divine. The tuna tart was standout with its delicate balance of sesame, and soy that made each bite burst with flavor. For the main course the filet flatbread was the highlight with the pecorino truffle cheese, adding a reach and indulgent touch to the perfectly cooked filet. My partner went with the battle tacos featuring the short ribs, which were melt in your mouth, delicious and complement it perfectly by the tangy pico de gallo. The service was top-notch with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel welcome and ensured that we had everything we needed. The wine list was impressive as well, and we appreciated the thoughtful pairings recommended by our server. Overall this restaurant offers an incredible dining experience. Whether you seated inside or enjoying the outdoor views. Every detail from the food to the service was impeccable. We will definitely be back soon.

I had a business lunch here Friday. We sat outside at their spacious outdoor seating area. Lots of umbrellas to keep the direct sun out. This was a perfect setting for a Friday business lunch. Our server could tell we were having a business lunch and accommodated our conversations and gave us the space needed to balance great service with a non-intrusive environment. It was superior service quality that was very surprising since this is not a Michelin star restaurant. It was greatly appreciated. We started with a glass of wine/beer and the appetizer sampler platter. This was a great way to provide variety for everyone's unique palette. We all seemed to enjoy that dish and approach. . I had the teriyaki skirt steak with garlic mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare with a drizzle of teriyaki sauce and thin onion 'rings or strings' on top. Very tasty! The potatoes and vegetables were uninspiring but prepared well and the veggies were al dente. My dining partners had the lobster risotto and prosciutto flatbread. Each cleaned their plates and said they enjoyed their entrees. This was very good experience and a real pleasant surprise. If I lived closer, this would be a regular spot for me.
