“ This is one of my favorite spots in Guilford. The food is amazing with great presentation. The service is quick but might be delayed on a busier night - worth the wait. The ambiance is very inviting and cozy. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great drinks and flavorful dishes. The servers are great as well (Lisa especially!). My photos show the lemon Dijon salmon, filet mignon, espresso martinis, pigs on a wire appetizer, mac and cheese, and crab cakes. ”
“ I discovered this charming spot through Yelp while on the hunt for a nice place to enjoy a good steak and some drinks. I'm so glad I made the trip. We had a wonderful time! To kick things off, we indulged in a half dozen oysters, choosing two of each variety they had, and they were simply delightful. For our main course, we shared a tomahawk steak, which turned out to be the perfect meal for two. We were seated at a cozy little table in a corner near the bar, making the space feel intimate. The service was friendly and attentive, and our server made some fantastic drink recommendations for my friend. We didn't end up trying dessert, but I have a strong feeling I'll be returning soon! ”
“ This place is fantastic! Driving through from Massachusetts to Long Island and unable to take the ferry, and stumbled upon this place thanks to Yelp. Without a doubt one of the best meals my coworker and I have had at least in the last year. The Gnocchi being described on the menu as pillowy was literally the most perfect description. My strip steak had the most incredible crust on the outside while being the decadent mid rate I ordered. Whatever house made sauce served with it just intensified the depth of flavor. I can go on and on about this experience.. unfortunately the only pictures I managed to take were of the bathroom picture I thought was funny when I went to wash my hands before being seated and of my delicious drink. ”
“ This is the place to go for a perfect cut of beef ! The Tomahawk for two is enormous and we ate the WHOLE thing. We were there on a Saturday night and there was a very lively bar scene. We will definitely go back! ”
“ The food is well prepared and of high quality. We ordered the herb whipped ricotta ($16) as a shareable appetizer and I was immediately disappointed because we saw a "pigs on a wire" come out to another table, lol. The herb whipped ricotta was great, it is served with vegetables and pita chips. I ordered the gnocchi and burrata ($32) which was perfectly cooked and delicious. I would have ordered the steak but the price is commensurate with NY Steak house prices and I just was not hungry enough to justify ordering it. Instead we saw others and it looked fantastic and ate it vicariously through them. If you are coming with meat eaters I'd recommend sharing the main steak and trying the sides. The onion rings are really onion straws which I like better. My wife had the Chilean sea bass ($54) which she liked a lot. The service was excellent and appropriately timed (a pet peeve of mine when it isn't). My only complaint was that it was loud. I don't know if I can't hear anymore or it was just loud. Understand that this restaurant is pricey but you quality like this comes at a price. I never mind paying for it when it is this good. ”
“ Food is gigantic and quite good. We got the kitchen sink brunch, omelette, and French toast. Everything was delicious and under $20 each, which seems good nowadays with inflation. We ate outside on a nice day, so had plenty of fresh air and space. Server came over four times before we were ready to order. Some people might have found this offputting but I was glad she paid attention to us. I'm so full I can barely breathe right now. The food is very rich and they don't skimp on salt or butter. Definitely gonna be drinking tons of water for the rest of the day. Maybe I'll have a light salad for dinner... ”
