    If you want an elevated dining experience but still kinda casual with the best tasting meals, definitely check this place out. I forgot what the starter was. Then we got the charred octopus and frisee salad (not pictured) both amazing. Porkchop was a special for the night. It was the most tender pork ive ever had. It almost tasted like beef. The sweet potato sauce was probably the best sauce I ever had. My husband really enjoyed his lamb. We'll be back again

    My husband and I have consistently had phenomenal dining experiences here over the last five years. The food is exquisite, cocktails superb, staff exceptional, ambiance delightful. We don't live in the area anymore, but are sure to make a reservation anytime we pass through Newport News! 20/5 stars!

    This was our second time here and the meal and service didn't disappoint. Our only critique is that they keep the dining room very cold - we were freezing, but well fed.
