I don’t review often, but when I do, you know it’ll be great.

Definitely a candidate for the best restaurant in Murray. Atmosphere is city chic with food showcasing very big flavors for a small town. I had the ribeye, and it just burst with fantastic flavors of lemon, balsamic and hints of herbs and oil from their top notch chimichurri. The broccolini side was also well executed.
