First time going here. The food was so delicious. My husband got the wagyu flank steak and I got the salmon. The wedge salad had a really good dressing and sprinkled with great tasting blue cheese. The charcuterie board was good also. I loved the olives, honey mustard sauce and bread that came with it. The service was excellent and very polite! And for pricing... Well, you get what you pay for. In my opinion, it was worth it.

From the home made baguette to the outstanding flank steak. Everything we ate was delicious. Highly recommend the lamb or fish too. Enjoy!

Probably the most exquisite dinning experience I have had in Kalamazoo. The food and atmosphere are amazing. This place is well worth the price tag and great for special occasions.

Our first time dining here (always wanted to try). Husband made reservations for our 17th anniversary date! On a Tuesday the place was packed, which was a good sign. We were promptly greeted and seated at a cozy table. Our server welcomed us and gave a perfect amount of time to peruse the menus. We started with the scallops over risotto and charcuterie board. The sauce/flavoring for the scallops was delicious and they were perfectly cooked. The charcuterie board had a nice variety of meats, pickled veggies, and toasts. In addition, there was free warm bread and oil brought to us throughout. The starters were such a decent portion that we decided to split an entre of Wagyu. Without even asking, they perfectly split between 2 plates and the portions were so big we feared we had mistakenly ordered 2 entres! But our server assured us it was just one (shocked because some fancy restaurants leave you still hungry). The steak and sides were cooked to perfection! For dessert, we got Tiramisu which was divine! My only critique is that we could not clearly see a liquor menu anywhere online or in the restaurant, so assumed it was only wine and beer. My husband prefers cocktails. Only figured it out as we were leaving and saw another patron enjoying a martini. We're ABSOLUTELY coming back and will grab a martini then! Honestly one of our best new dining experiences in a long time!
