Our experience was absolutely amazing! We had a reservation for 8 people after my wedding and no detail was too small. They specially printed out menus to congratulate us on our special day (and let us take the signed menu home as a keepsake). The service was wonderful. The food was phenomenal! They made a vegetarian dish special for my husband that he loved. I had the most tender lamb I've ever eaten. The appetizers were amazing (we had the crab dip and bacon wrapped dates), and the desserts were rich and delicious (we had one of each haha). They sat us in the French room which was cozy and intimate. The night finished with getting to meet our wonderful chef. A wonderful experience from start to finish. I look forward to returning for another special occasion. (I forgot to take more photos. It wasn't until I slowed down for dessert that I thought of it. All of the dishes were beautifully presented)

Absolutely loved everything about our dining experience. The pace of dining reminds me of dining in Europe and you are able
to enjoy your dinner and your company without the rush to hurry out.

We texted the phone number on the website to reserve our table. Always a huge bonus when parking is easy, and there is a lot on the premise. The atmosphere is so cozy and intimate and I love the candle lit ambiance. Having grown up in a family owned restaurant, the atmosphere was nostalgic and I love that so many of the employees are related to the owners. Excellent service from all staff.

The food. Wow!!!! We started with a crab and parmesan cheese melted dip (mouth is still watering), and had lamb chops and an oscar style filet mignon. Everything was cooked to perfection. Finished with a crème brûlée.

Will certainly be back! Highly recommend for a special occasion or an intimate date night.

This is a quaint little place with a cozy ambiance. This love story was endearing. We tried several items that were memorable and left us planning our next visit. If you get the chance to go, it is worth the experience. I had been following them for a while with their Thursday to go dinners, which always sound amazing. The food is worth going back for. Everything tasted delicious with textures that really got the taste buds ready for the next bite. The homemade chocolate torte which I didn't get a picture of but we had taken a slice to go and I would go back for that alone yet there is so much more worth eating, if you have the time to spend and go with an empty tummy because it all is so good. Did I mention the attention to detail? The gold on the beet salad was thoughtful and upped the anti for sure! And the smells of the food cooking really gives the homey, delectable vibe. Kerri was personable and knowledgeable, and you can see her passion for people and their food. This was a great place to splurge and connect.

Jean Pierre ALWAYS delivers! Every meal we had was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I recommend anything on their menu! But don’t skip the dates and mushrooms soup! Pastas are made fresh, and everything is purchased locally! It’s not just dining it’s an experience!

Firstly, I'm definitely coming back and if y'all are interested reserve a spot for the Library(w/ Kerri)! The Escargot is to die for! I got the juniper lamb chops which were marinated for 3 days... the bacon wrapped dates were heavenly and the perfect blend of flavors! Finished off with an espressos torte along with espresso martini. The atmosphere is great! This is definitely more of a date spot but if you're like me and just enjoy fine foods and comfortable going by yourself I highly recommend this place! They have a great wine selection and Kerri would be more than happy to throw you pairing suggestions!

02/24/2024: We were able to secure a last minute reservation for dinner. The menu looked amazing and was such a difficult decision. We decided on the escargot, mushroom soup, seafood pasta, and blackened rib eye. Overall everything was delicious, Kerri is a wonderful host and we had a very enjoyable experience. I love restaurants that occupy old homes. It feels so cozy and the decor is very warm.

Serving size is large. Dishes were very flavorful but also very heavy and rich. That mushroom soup was heavenly. Seafood pasta featured in house made pappardelle, which was cooked perfectly, as well as an assortment of seafood. Although the rib eye cut was not the best, it was cooked perfectly as were the green beans (bright green and a crisp bite). We were so full we couldn't even get dessert.

We look forward to going back to try the other items on the menu.

What an amazing restaurant and an amazing family! Our first adventure here was my birthday four years ago. We ate some wonderful food. We drank some delicious wine. We talked to Kerri and four hours later we were the last people in the building. We felt so at home. We have had so many great experiences there over the years, graduation dinners, anniversaries, even our wedding reception. The whole family has made us feel like part of their family.

For food, don't pass on the dates and the mushroom soup! Every entree we have ever had has been wonderful. The seasonal specials are fun to explore as well.

To the other diners that have not rated this place well: yes it is pricey but the experience is worth it. If something isn't right, say it and they will fix it immediately. The ambiance and decor is not for everyone, true. But I don't complain when the I go to Applebee's and I don't like the decor on the walls or the lights are too bright. That is what that restaurant chose to do, and the same here.

Plan to sit back, relax and enjoy time with your loved ones...and you might even make some great friends in the process!

Came here for my birthday with some girlfriends and we had the BEST time. The chef and staff were absolutely delightful people. And the food, I never thought I’d try escargot (snails) but it was delicious and my steak was perfectly
Cooked. Can’t recommend this place enough , made me feel special and can’t wait to go back!!
