My boyfriend took me here for my birthday! The food was incredible. We had the warm goat cheese salad, soup of the day (creamy chicken and rice), filet mignon, and pan-fried trout. They also served nice bread with garlicky, herbed olive oil/balsamic vinegar.

Goat cheese salad was really great, featuring a breaded and fried cheese ball and perfect amount of vinaigrette. The flavors went together wonderfully. Soup was surprising--comforting with a great mouthfeel. It was a smooth soup without any pieces of chicken or rice which was very unexpected, but nevertheless achieved a strong chicken flavor.

The filet came with green beans that had the most interesting flavors, kind of like balsamic vinegar and citrus. Mashed potatoes were good. I didn't like the filet so much, but my boyfriend enjoyed it.

Trout was and INCREDIBLE. I was very impressed by the creativity of the thinly sliced, grilled cauliflower. The individual components blended to create really unique flavor and texture, and while I was wary of the slight char on the cauliflower, it ended up adding to rather than detracting from the dish.

We appreciated the professional service and the warm interior. The dishes weren't especially picturesque, but made up for it in flavor. It was a little bit dark in the restaurant though.
