Generally, Chef Ed Matthews will come out to check if everything is ok. If you have special needs like GLUTEN-FREE, he will use his considerable expertise to accomodate you. It is fun to ask him particulars about the meal, and anything about food. He has special, seasonal dinners and a blog that you can sign for by email. The restaurant... More

My family and I had a wonderful dinner to celebrate my birthday. The food was excellent and very different than any standard chain restaurant. We had great service and the chef was extremely accommodating to my dietary restriction. I highly recommend eating here if you are looking for an fabulous dining experience More

We had dinner here on New Year's Eve and had a lovely dinner. The service was excellent! The dinner was a fixed menu and had a lot of high-end ingredients such as lobster, caviar, smoked salmon and truffles. The dinner ended up costing us over $200 per couple and I felt that the food could have been a little better... More

Ed Matthews creates some unbelievable food combinations, and his appetizers can shame the famed tapas that Jose Andres serves at Jaleo. Pork belly with grits, prosciutto-wrapped scallops, and Thai-flavored crab cakes? How can you go wrong with that? The wine list is also deep and sports a wide range of values such as Cono Sur's "Vision" pinot noir. It is... More

In our last night in Winchester my sister and I booked a table here. We were welcomed at the door by the chef and escorted to a table by the fellow who was to be a server. As we were there fairly early (6:15) I was surprised to see three tables just about finishing. Is there an early bird special... More

My husband and I went here on a Friday night in October 2011, and we thought it was great. As a true foodie, my standards are not low and I don't mind paying higher prices for a fine meal. We selected a cauliflower mushroom from Oregon and crab cakes for appetizers. The crab cakes were great, but the mushrooms were... More
