I’ve always said it less is more. 5 apps 5 entrees is the menu. Best meal I’ve eaten in 2022.
We visited this restaurant for a special Mother's Day celebration, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly kind, making the day feel even more special. The ambiance was equally impressive, with beautiful artwork with the option to buy, if you are …
We rented the entire space at the Gallery for a rehearsal dinner. There were about 50 of us. Planning with Cecilia was pretty easy -- she had many great suggestions. It's especially noteworthy how flexible they are, especially compared to some similar venues. We had passed appetizers, a custom non-alcohol cocktail, 3 of their signature cocktails, and beer and wine. …
I sat outside and enjoyed cocktails and appetizers for happy hour. I loved the outdoor space. The service was excellent from Evie. The food was really good and seemed fresh and light.
They have the best deviled eggs we've had. This was our first time there. Our server, Shelby, told us all about the restaurant and answered our questions.
Arguably the best restaurant North of Chicago. The menu is short but diverse and everything is of extremely good flavor and beautifully served. Great artwork as well, for an immersive experience of a lifetime!

We recently celebrated my mom’s 90th Surprise Birthday Party at this venue, and the entire experience far exceeded our expectations. The entire menu was absolutely spectacular and beautifully presented. Our guests could not stop talking about the coconut shrimp, black garlic deviled eggs, miso glazed salmon, bavette steak, and the incredible cookie crumble chocolate mousse for dessert. Every dish was …
