We had the pleasure of enjoying lunch prepared by Chef Read, & it was an unforgettable experience. Chef Read personally came to our table, took the time to ask about our preferences, & made us feel truly welcome. The food was absolutely delicious-every dish was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared. The combination of outstanding service & incredible cuisine made our visit special. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience & exceptional food. Thank you, Chef Read!

Food was a somewhere between mediocre & food. We ordered the cold appetizer combination for $20 & the Musakhan chicken dish. The appetizers were pretty good , not great & the chicken was mid. The service was pretty.slow. I might stop by if I was in the neighborhood but wouldn't fo out of my way.
