We talked for 15 minutes and based on her experience and caring nature decided to meet with her. By the way, the other two never called back. My wife and I felt completely comfortable with Jamie and trusted her with my wife's special day. She made suggestions and didn't pressure us in the least. The big day was two days ago and we couldn't be more happy with the results. Jamie's team, Jackie, Megan and Cynthia, were friendly and efficient. The food was outstanding and several of our friends referred to our party as the event of the year!

He made an appetizer that was one of the best I have ever had, and I am a major foodie that is always going to high end steakhouses and restaurants.

He also provided our group with a 4th pasta dish when we only ordered 3, and they were all so so good! His pear pasta with gorgonzola creme sauce is one of the best pastas I have ever had.

Chef Ken's Meatloaf is a large serving of meatloaf atop a potato waffle, topped with a mushroom gravy. It all worked together very well. Plating was professional. The green and blue look of the restaurant promotes a fresh clean feel. It is a small place, they said 7 tables, with a nice choice of background music. It is also a place where interactions can include conversation as well as attentive service. It is a place where I would like to return.
