    Egg "ravioli" are the best thing on the menu. Ask for a tour of the kitchen, how things are made are better than the actual dishes.

    Happy to salute an allergy-ok restaurant. I'm allergic to eggs, the waiter double checked all the menu for me. Scallops are really good, an venison meat is crazy. Enjoy!

    Our waiter helped us devise a little make-shift tasting menu from the regular menu that saved us about 300 bucks for the table. 4 apps +2 fish entrees split up as a mid-course + 4 meat entrees.
