5 /5 Andrew Blaiklock: We visited in late October for a meal at 6pm so we had a good 30 mins of sunset to catch the beautiful sweeping views of the mountain backdrop. The decor is simple and elegant, mostly charcoal grey with natural wood and green accents- perfect for an Upstate getaway experience. The booth we sat in was spacious and cute, the only downside was the seat not having any padding (the wood bench was rough on our tailbones). Food was outstanding and generously portioned. We ate the bread and butter (delicious seasonal butter options - pumpkin spice, white truffle, & mocha) to share, plus the seasonal autumn salad. The salad was delightful with seasonal fruits: pear, plum, blackberry and some others. Individually for entree we ate the Tile Fish, Magret Duck Breast, and 16oz Rib Eye.
The Tile Fish had a beautifully crispy skin and firm, but tender, flaky meat on a bed of beurre blanc, shaved asparagus and shaved almonds with trout roe and caviar on top. The flavor was incredible and fresh. It paired well with the sour beer on draft with notes of fruit and berries.
The duck was delightful and a generous portion. Seasoning on the duck was great- savory with a touch of sweetness. Lastly, the ribeye was perfectly cooked medium rare with a crispy sear and creamy mashed potatoes and peas on the side. Our server was very knowledgeable when explaining the dishes and ingredients for some who are food sensitive in our party, and very friendly when checking on us without us feeling like they were hovering. They were also really sweet in bringing out delicious vanilla bean ice cream for two of us celebrating birthdays!
