Progress

Went for birthday brunch. We were rushed and reminded at least four times they close at 2. We got there around 1:00. The donut holes were ordered. One of our parties were running late and showed around 1:25. We ordered and had A LOT of mimosas over the course of the meal. And again we’re reminded they close at 2. The food was mediocre at best. The portions were super small. Our brunch bowl $13 was maybe half full and smaller than an 6” dinner salad. The only entree that looked reasonably filling was the biscuits and gravy $8. It was mentioned a couple of times it was a birthday and no acknowledgment was given. Not even a happy birthday. BUT we did get that they close at 2.

This was my first time for a couple things, this was my first tasting menu, first time eating Foie Gras, and first time eating at a fine dining establishment. I truly enjoyed everything they had. The Walleye Schnitzel was interesting, not sure of the picked vegetables and crispy fish quite go together, never had anything like that before. Will definitely be back to try more dishes.

Disappointing food at an very expensive price and tiny portion. I understand the service is great and the environment is fancy, however, the portion and price should be reasonable, I don’t mind you charge a even higher price If the food is right. I paid $45+ for a steak and asked for medium rare, but they over cooked it to medium well. This is just not acceptable. The steak was cut at the kitchen, which means the chef, the waiter both saw that the steak was not medium rare, however they just continued to serve it. This is definitely not the quality I’m expecting. The sauce they used they claimed is Asian chili crisp, but unfortunately I buy Asian groceries too so I can taste that’s store bought Asian chili sauce that’s packed with MSG.

I'm not a huge fan of doing online reviews of places, but for this restaurant I feel it's necessary. The experience at this restaurant isn't just about the food. It's about the environment, the dynamic, the food, and the adventure you go on with the group you're with. Between every course they allow enough time to have a great and deep conversation with your group, but when the food comes out they explain how it's made. The flavors which are in it and allow you to truly appreciate everything that's going on. If you are able to go to one of their tasting menus, I truly and absolutely recommended it. These menus allow you to experience such a wonderful culinary adventure which will create a memory that will last for a lifetime. Lastly, I just have to say how much I appreciate the staff that they have, everyone is so knowledgeable of each course, they interact with the guest at all times, and lastly you don't feel like you're just another table welcomed in to be pushed out. You understand that when you start the dinner that it's going to be a experience that isn't rushed but brought to you in courses to experience, process, and enjoy.

My son and I ate here for lunch on Saturday. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the Avocado Toast and a Mimosa. The toast was DELICIOUS! Definite 5 stars. The only thing that would have made it out of this world is if it had bacon crumbles on the top, other than that it was perfect. My son's biscuit and gravy was also very good and full of flavor. Great atmosphere as well. Excited to try other dishes!

BEST dining experience I've had in Springfield. I've gone there for dinner twice, each time I tried a new appetizer, coffee, cocktail, salad, and dessert (I had their Peace Valley Chicken both times because it's just TOO good). Their food genuinely amazes me and the price is 100% worth it. All the tables are spread out, it's not overly loud, and the environment is clean and cozy. The service was excellent too, super friendly people!
