Start to finish was great. Called to get reservations made & was well taken care of, but on the Thursday before Valentines it wasn't really necessary. The food was exquisite and the service was top notch. Everything I would expect from a stellar restaurant- it deserves it's reputation asnone of the absolute best in Wichita! Started with the spicy ahi tuna-the combination is a great starter in the flavors & textures. Entree went portabello fettuccine and my wife had the veal picatta- both were divine. Fresh seasonal ingredients cooked to perfection with amazing flavors. We ended the evening with the Swiss Three Chocolate cake. Definitely a great experience and highly recommend for special occasions!

I visited on a Saturday evening and came away with a generally positive impression. The atmosphere is lively yet inviting, with a particularly appealing patio that adds to the overall charm. The menu delivered well in several areas—the filet mignon, in particular, stood out as the clear highlight of the meal, cooked and seasoned with precision. Cocktails were consistently well-executed, and the bar program appears to be a strong suit. That said, there were a few lapses that tempered the experience. One cocktail arrived with visible lipstick on the rim—quickly addressed by the waiter, but still a detail that raises concerns about attention to cleanliness. More notably, the chicken pistachio dish presented a frustrating contrast: its flavors were thoughtfully composed and quite enjoyable, yet the chicken itself was significantly overcooked and dry, undermining what could have been an excellent entrée. Despite these missteps, there’s enough promise here to warrant a return visit. With more consistent execution, this restaurant could easily rise to a higher tier.

Got this as a gift for Christmas. Asking with "Water for Elephants" tickets. Wonderful evening. Filet was one of the best wife has had. Her words. Shrimp and mussels were awesome. Saffron sauce was so good and blended with the pasta and sun dried tomatoes incredibly. Only issue the $20 gift certificate didn't go through. Manager honored it anyway. Great staff. Great food. Great setting. It was GREAT.

I don't know how I didn't hear of this place before. This is one of those hidden gems in Wichita. Small cozy pretty place downtown with a whole new different atmosphere inside. Our waiter was a delight, very smart gentleman, and the food was simply amazing, the best cheese I've ever tasted so far in the US. The pasta is proprietary, so they do it at place, and you'll leave satisfied, still thinking on all the great taste 🤗 Drinks are creative, I wouldn't say fantastic but they are ok. I would definitely recommend. We'll be back some other time with family.

Our group of 15 was wonderfully accommodated. The food and drinks were great. A tip and processing fee was automatically charged to our bills. The tip was expected, but not the processing fee which upset some. The restaurant was quiet with a nice, upscale atmosphere. The waitress was excellent.
