Cadence Kitchen & Co

This restaurant was in an awesome location right across from the train station. The atmosphere was definitely relaxed and a plate was actually very large parking was a little bit of a pain, but you were able to park on the street after you drove around for a minute. The service was really great. I forgot our server’s name, but she was fantastic. She was on top of her game for sure because we sat at the table right by the bar. The people I was with had the filet mignon which was cooked perfectly the fish which he said was awesome and he gets it every time he goes there and I had a short rib which was delicious. It was so filling I couldn’t even finish it. The truffle fries were outstanding along with the meatballs, which were small, but we’re pretty good. I would definitely recommend this place. If you were in town the prices weren’t too bad, but definitely not cheap.

Wow what a treat! I have the organic chicken and it was absolutely delicious. It was so juicy and flavorful. My friend had the octopus and it was some of the best octopus I’ve had! They cooked it beautifully. It wasn’t rubbery at all. I was very impressed with how fast everything came out and just overall atmosphere. They had a new tables off to the side and I honestly appreciated them because I was just walking around and seeing who had availability for two, and I was glad that they had those new spots because they were able to just sit us right down. I’ve been before and enjoyed it, but this time was especially enjoyable! My friend had a mocktail. It was very tasty and the cocktails are always good. Will be back soon.

We had our DGN high school reunion there. The service was slow but he was awesome! I decided to order my own dinner cuz the party food wasn’t what I wanted to eat, looked ok tho. I was extra nice to the bartender but he wasn’t that friendly, probably cuz our party was overwhelmingly needy. I ordered the skirt steak and potatoes. FANTASTIC! Quite garlicky but ok with me. The old fashion’s were delicious.

What a find! Delicious appetizers including crispy rice & spicy tuna, lobster potholes and whipped ricotta & honey. Super cool vibe and attentive wait staff. Delicious drinks from the bar!

We used a reserved room for a briday shower. I can't say enough good things about our entire experience. Abby was our event coordinator and was excellent to work with from start to finish. Whenver we had a question she was extremely quick to respond and helped in every way possible. The day of the shower we had Andrew as our server. Again, I can't say enough good things . . . . he was extremely attentive to our every need during the shower without making his presence known. He was very kind to us all and so helpful when needed. We had our lunch served family and all food was served promptly in a timely manner and was oh so delicious! Everyone at Cadence Kitchen that we interacted with was so very kind and helpful. Thank you for making our family bridal shower so easy and comfortable for us to host.

We started off with drinks, and the server/bartender’s attention to detail was next to amazing truly some of the best drinks I’ve had in Illinois. I ordered the skirt steak medium, and while it was slightly more cooked than my preference, the way it was handled completely changed the experience. The chef personally came out, apologized multiple times, and re-presented my meal with such care and precision like the artist he truly is. That level of service, accountability, and pride in the craft is rare. Between the exceptional drinks, thoughtful service, and professionalism, this is hands down one of the best restaurants in Illinois. Will I come back? Absolutely.

The reservation was fine. We sat down and waited awhile for the waitress. She took our drink order. 10 minutes or so later, she comes back to the table without our drinks and asks if we want an appetizer, we ordered one. 10 minutes th appetizer comes, still no cocktails. Drinks show up about 10 minutes later when were half way done with the app. NO APOLOGIES! Then soup comes. Fine, 5 minutes later, the meal comes and my guest isn't even close to finishing her soup. Isn't that supposed to be timed better. My wife's broccoli was way over cooked. For $25, my tenderloin dip sandwhich had very little meat. This is Chicago, home of the beef sandwich, very disappointed in the serving size. I give all placed 3 tries. This was my third, not coming back. First two weren't as disappointing, but there is no value to this place and I can't say the food is spectacular, it's above average. While the atmoshpere is great, for the price you pay, class the joint up and put the wait staff in uniforms.

Wonderful place for dinner with friends. Food was great, nice service and atmosphere. Inside was little bit dark but perfect for for a date night.

We loved our experience at Cadence Kitchen! I think the food we had fell a little short, but the service and experience made up for it. We ordered the Mushroom Arancinis, which was phenomenal, definitely ordering that again. For the mains, we had the Walleye Puttanesca and the NY Bodega Wagyu Chopped Cheese. I think the dishes were good, but nothing over the top. The drinks to pair were also great we had a cocktail (I think it was Girls On Fire) and a beer! Now, what I thought was awesome was that they have a dog menu. they freeze the dog food on a frisbee and its a great enrichment tool and food for our pup. We enjoyed the ambience outside and loved sitting on the patio!

Cadence has a nice outdoor area which is perfect on a nice day or evening. The couple of times that I've been here, I dined inside. It is quite dark but I like the décor of the place. For my recent visit, I tried the CAULIFLOWER & GIARDINIERA, COBB SALAD, and the BISON BURGER. They were all prepared well and satisfying. The portions are also big enough for sharing. I also tried the STACY'S MOM and the GIRLS ON FIRE cocktails. Both were also good and refreshing. My previous visit was a while ago, so I cannot really remember how the dishes were. I'm sure they were good, but nothing that I would crave for that's why I haven't been back for quite a while. Service was prompt and friendly. The place is clean and neat. 'Til next time!

Service was fantastic as were the food and cocktails! The place was adorable and we had a giant booth to ourselves to enjoy the evening.

I haven't been to Cadence Kitchen in over a year. I forgot how much I like the food at Cadence. We sat in the dining room this visit. They have a large bar when you walk in and a couple dining areas. In the warmer months there's a patio outside. Anna was our server and she provided great service. We just stopped in for a quick bite after a wake in town so we just ordered our two entrées with no appetizers or cocktails. My husband had the steak sandwhich. It was a decent size piece of thick steak cooked to perfection on crusty rustic loaf with a side of french fries. I had the bison burger, but asked not to have the barbecue sauce. The burger was huge, cooked to perfection and tasty. It also came with fries. One of my favorite restaurants is Foxtail, which is a sister restaurant to Cadence so it's no surprise that this is a restaurant I enjoy dining at.

We had a lovely time at dinner tonight. The server was upbeat and helpful. The restaurant was clean and in good repair with a dark, clubby atmosphere. I had the Rigatoni with Pesto and it was amazing! Very, very flavorful and a large portion. My husband had the Lemon Shrimp appetizer which he enjoyed. We all shared the Oreo Ice Cream sandwich and the Apple dessert that looked like an Apple dumpling - wonderful!

This place had been on my list of restaurants to try, so I decided to give them a visit. Located near the dg train station, there is parking out front. However, it states 2 hour parking until 6 pm. They have happy hour specials from 3 to 5 pm. Beer, cocktails, and appetizers are on the list. I had the girl on fire, and it was spicy from the jalepeno. We sat inside, and it was spacious. The booth was super comfy. The service was great. She was very attentive. They also have plenty of outdoor seating as well. They played a lot of 80s music on my visit. Give them a shot!

We stopped by the area to listen to some music nearby at the train stop. We figured we'd grab dinner beforehand. It was fairly busy outside, but we were the only customers inside. It was relaxing and quiet. The booth we sat in was super comfy. After the hostess sat us and gave us menus, our waitress gave us a happy hour menu that the hostess didn't mention. We ordered 2 drinks because of that! I ordered the cobb salad with chicken. The salad was huge, flavorful dressing, and plenty of tomatoes and bacon. Overall, we had a great experience.

That was the best salmon I've had in a very long time. Cooked perfectly with a delicious honey mustard sauce, sitting on a bed of farro. I could eat that daily. Loved both the crab beignets and the cauliflower apps. The accompanying sauce to the cauliflower had very flavorful fresh dill. Loved it. Enjoyed the Strawberry Fields cocktail, but the Hot Blooded didn't knock my socks off. There are plenty of drinks to try next time though. With excellent food and service, plus a chill atmosphere, there will definitely be a next time.

We only did to go because they were extremely busy! And after we ate, I could see why. The food was insanely good. The buffalo shrimp w gorg I wish I could eat that everyday! It's very pretty inside, a little dim but it works for the vibe. Very cozy place. Can't wait to return and dine in. Also Shoutout to Lauren, thanks for your help and kindness. You were serving tables and still stopped to answer questions for us! Rockstar service!

Bottom Line: If you like overpaying your very hard earned money for just an ok experience, dressed up to make you feel like you should pay more for it--this is the place for you. The homegrown, local guys done good story of this place is actually inspiring and I wanted so much to love it. The good service is the high point followed by the eclectic, trendy urban warehouse chic, sports bar-ish environment with lots of dark, warm hues making it very inviting. I've been wanting to try this place for a while and looked forward to its great promise. The place was bustling inside and out on a very nice early summer evening. I was feeling more inside so I opted in and was seated near the bar and able to see the games. Consequently, I was feeling like a really good beer and burger, a satisfying experience to kick off the weekend. To my chagrin the beer on-tap menu, an opportunity show the depth of personality of a place, is uninspiring and it looks like they've thrown their effort behind $12 per (min.) cocktails and wines with impressive (in range) but very over pricey in cost per glass or bottle. When you're at nearly 20 bucks for "smalls" with sort of pretentious titles, you know you're in for a hit to the 'ole wallet but ok let's see how it goes. I settled for a Yuengling that stood out conspicuously from the standard golden Pilsner or IPA offerings with the obligatory lone Guinness as a dark offering. I started with the $12 soup of the day--cream of asparagus per the the server, but had more of a navy bean texture that was quite good though paltry in portion at that price. It went nicely with the Yuengling. So, anything named "House Burger" , to me, has got to be good right? That one unassuming but distinct opportunity for the kitchen to flex their gastronomic muscle in an unpretentious but expert way. I ordered the $20 house burger with cheddar. It came out promptly looking as mechanically put together as its presentation--yeah--if you're gonna hit me for $20 bucks for a hamburger I want presentation. I got a hamburger on a cold white plate with dried out "frites", in a stainless steel cup though, and a few lonely cucumbers on the side. I will say the burger was done well, juicy, but nothing unusual in the way of seasoning, or sauce, or...bacon?!...an egg?!!...anything that would justify its price tag but more importantly make it worthy of the moniker "House Burger." Finished the sandwich, paid the bill and left. So that's it, the meal and experience was short, and efficient but wholly unsatisfying in terms of what I received in exchange for my money. Will I and the rest of my party be back? Not likely unless someone else is willing to pay. There are too many other options that understand this premise: We don't need or want pretentious trappings or entree titles, we want unpretentious but well prepared dishes at unpretentious prices, a good value, a good experience, and we will come back time and time again. One note, I think it says something about a place that doesn't claim their business on this site, especially a place like this that is heavily commented upon. It says, at least hints, they couldn't care less what you personally think, which, I can also understand if you've got plenty of patrons willing to buy what you're selling but that perception can often come through in the business interactions. This is why I also read the one and two star reviews for keepin' it real perspective.

Strawberry Fields Cocktail Beet and Burrata Salad Grilled Spanish Octopus The service here is super friendly and the patio is great for a nice summer day. The strawberry fields cocktail was delicious, light, and again, a perfect compliment to a warm summer day. While the grilled spanish octopus was delicious, tender, and perfectly seasoned, the beet and barrata salad was a little lackluster. The dressing was just kind of a sweet one-note and it didn't really come together with the greens.

Creative new-American restaurant with plenty of seating and an impressive bar (decor and selection). I loved the rock theme around the bar (Prince quote, band/artist artwork). Great/comfy/large booths!

My husband & I had dinner last night. The whole experience was awesome from the start. We chose to eat inside, I was given a table but was moved to a booth that opened in the bar area. (Had requested a booth on reservation). I started with a drink WaterMelon Sugar on recommendation from our server. It was so fresh with a little sweet, we chose the Crab beignets & whipped Ricotta w/ Honey as apps.. Both were delicious, the beignets were generously filled w/ crab. For the mains I had Shrimp w/ Crispy Polenta. I thought polenta was like grits but it was more like a bread. It was really good, my hubby got the BBQ Bison Burger & he ate every last crumb. For dessert we had the Peach pies w blueberry ice cream & compote. I have never had peach pie but I want it again!!!! We will definitely be back for dinner. Such a great place. Great service & great food is hard to find.

We loved the ambiance of this restaurant. Great place to go with friends. We had the salmon, the chopped chicken salad and the kids had the cheeseburger. The kids' burger was a little charred but the salmon and the salad was amazing. Planning to go again.

We didn't dine in, rather used Door Dash. This was the first time we ordered here. The food was good and the portions were generous. We'll order again.

It was love when we first stepped into the restaurant. Very industrial and eclectic styles meeting to create a modern, cozy atmosphere to enjoy dinner with friends. The food was amazing here and I'm glad we came with a big group to taste a little bit of everything. I wish I wasn't recovering from acid reflux or else I could've had more to eat! I ordered the ribeye which was cooked to perfection and I took this with me so I can eat it later. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower were my favorite appetizers out of everything we tried. By the way, this place has great cocktail options to try! Everyone in our group was pleasantly surprised! Our server was very friendly and accommodated our large group. Definitely recommend!

Always great food and wonderful service! Always happy experience! Best burgers in town! Amazing drinks to order!

Been here a few times and have never been disappointed. Today was a top ten meal that I have ever had! From beginning to end, the entire experience was superb! We walked into a tasteful, hip restaurant and were warmly greeted by the hostess. Our server was incredible knowledgeable about the creative menu. There were so many unique dishes to choose from, it was hard to pick! We ordered the lobster poppers and Spanish octopus small plates for the table (both out of this world!! Filled with so much flavor!) For dinner I got the butternut squash risotto with duck confit. Creamy risotto with broccolini and crispy, moist duck. Truly one of the best meals I have ever eaten. Every bite was a treat! If you're looking for a place with a warm and inviting climate, amazing staff, and out of this world unique food, look no further than Cadence! A true GEM!

Wow! I just found my new suburban favorite!! Cadence offers top notch cuisine, atmosphere and service. We could not have asked for more. Upon arrival, the hostess was so sweet. We couldn't decide if we wanted to sit inside or out. She told us we could change our mind, no problem. We started inside in the cutest round booth. It was dark and cozy and reminded me of the perfect place for a winter dinner. So, we changed our mind and decided on an al fresco table. It is a must-see dining yard. Tables everywhere. Pretty topiary. Various levels. Yes please. The guy Christopher assisted us to a new table and stayed with us as our server. Christopher took our great experience to fantastic with his fun, cool vibe. We felt so cared for and really enjoyed his service. We were celebrating a birthday and he surprised us with a glass of champagne. During dessert, he said they ran out of candles, so he lit a lighter for my friend to blow out as she made her birthday wish. Sweet & resourceful! The menu changes monthly and offers fresh, made from scratch deliciousness with every bite! Everything was prepared perfectly and plated beautifully. Our cocktails were tasty and looked really cute. I had the Strawberry Fields that was bright and fresh. My friend had a Sidecar that she loved. We enjoyed our appetizers, entrees and desserts. Thank you Cadence for offering the best patio, delicious food and Christopher's hospitality.

Food was very average, service was pretty poor, and we were made to wait 45 minutes despite having a reservation

Wonderful dishes and hard-working staff :) the best in town! Rotating seasonal dishes and desserts with creative twists

Such a great and large outdoors. We brought our large dog and they were easily able to accomodate us. So much room outside and the tables were spaced nicely apart - even if we didn't have our dog. For drinks - I had the Girls on Fire and my husband had a separate cocktail. Both were good - but nothing stood out to me. Food - was a different story. We started with the Crispy Cauliflower & Giardiniera. Wow - was it outstanding. There were so many other apps we would have chosen, too. But the cauliflower was huge and we loved the dipping sauces and the spice fo the giardiniera. For entrees, we got the Shrimp & Polenta and Chimichurri Angus Skirt Steak. I loved both dishes, but my husband thought everything about the steak dish was too salty- hence he ate more of the shrimp. W/o a doubt - the shrimp and polenta was the shining dish. I was able to bring part of both dishes home and both reheated very nicely the next day. Cut back on the salt on the steak dish (including the spinach) and my husband will be a fan. I, myself , already was!

I really wanted to like this place . . . and I did! (sorry, that was my husband's idea, lol). Cadence Kitchen hosted our company holiday dinner last night. The special events coordinator was kind and accommodating, the food and drinks were so delicious, we had a wonderful selection of appetizers, entrees and desserts. Our server Emily went above and beyond to take care of our group. Everyone raved about the food, the bacon wrapped dates and ginger cookies were out of this world! The atmosphere was effortlessly cool. Thank you to everyone at Cadence Kitchen for a wonderful evening!

I love this place. Nice local chill spot in DG. Chef Todd and Chef Tim are great guys and the staff is wonderful. Rob at the bar is a great guy; he's lively , entertaining , passionate, and funny! The food here is amazing also. I've had nearly everything on their menu and I can say the portions are great and big! I tried the meatballs yesterday and fell in love! The Naan bread with them was perfectly cooked and was a great addition! Their cocktails are all great as well.

I've been given tons of recommendations for Cadence Kitchen and went out last Saturday with some friends. Sadly I was let down. We had reservations which I would suggest and were seated at our time - great. We waited 40 minutes after placing our drink order. The drinks were good but after waiting so long we decided to end it after one cocktail. I had the shrimp risotto and that was very good but service was so slow that we began to eat well over an hour after we arrived.

Perfect! Like always! All aspects meet expectations! If too hot outdoors, can't beat indoors!

I had dinner here Saturday night with my sister. I really enjoyed myself. It's an eclectic design inside with comfortable chairs and booths. I had to grill beef tenderloin sandwich, which was cooked perfectly and a chocolate mousse roll for dessert I would go back.

Very cool vibe, lots of space with outdoor seating options. Knowledgeable and friendly service. They have a gluten free menu with lots of options, which was clutch for me. We tried the pimento spread, lobster potholes, shrimp & polenta and shepards pie. Everything we tried was great! Highly recommend the shrimp & polenta most of all. The server warned me it may be spicy, but I didn't think it was spicy at all (and I'm a spice wimp). 10/10 would recommend. I'm sure we'll be back. Would love to try this spot in the summer!

The food and atmosphere was super fun! We were here for a birthday and the staff were attentitive. The espresso martini was delicious. One of the bests I have had.

Had dinner first time recently. Wonderful atmosphere, and the food was great. It's just a bit noisy in the dining rooms but not sure if there's anything that can be done about that. My only request is that they carry more and better non-alcoholic beers. Those na beers have improved soooo much since 30 years ago that now I can't tell the difference. But they only have 2, and 1of them was not avail. The other one they had is by Athletic - which makes a great na lager and an IPA. But this os not what they had. They only had the na-Athletic Lite. This tastes like crap - it's terrible. But also, if it's a na beer to begin with, there's absolutely no reason to make a lite. It's low-cal since it's na! So please carry the Athletic lager and IPA.

This place is reasonably priced and the food is creative and delicious. Our server was great, especially with a table of 6 ladies ready to go out after quarantine. I had the Shrimp with polenta and the portion was good. Polenta wasn't exciting, but I also think it's an overhyped food in general. My martini was also great. I enjoyed coming here. Just a note, couscous is originally from Morocco, so maybe they can properly depict that in their menu.

Food was outstanding! Steak with potatoes was perfectly cooked. Staff was friendly. Ambience is music-themed, upscale casual. Highly recommend.

My family came for brunch on the weekend and it was not busy at all. We shared the crispy cauliflower & giardiniera, I had the cavatelli cacio e pepe and I tried the steak sandwich. The whole table enjoyed the crispy cauliflower. The serving size was large and it was indeed crispy and surprisingly light. My pasta dish was huge and creamy. Not as good as I hoped it would be and it was more of an alfredo sauce. The steak sandwich was just ok. We shared the pumpkin creme brulee for dessert, which was good. Lunch was fine, but I had high hopes for something better since the menu seemed more promising than other options in DG. I'm not in a hurry to come back.

I've visited more than 850 restaurants all over the world and i can honestly say that : CADENCE in Downers Groove Is such UNIQUE STYLE AND SERVICE. Our server ANDREAS has hosted and served to my and my family and suggested us all the courses and we remained speechless and amazed. The cocktails are as 4 SEASONS OF VIVALDI, you can taste more than deliciousness on your glass!!!! Keep up and Congratulations!

Very sugary weak drinks Cosmo was tiny! / burger $18 mediocre size along with steak sandwich $23 ! Flavor was lacking on all foods portion size for pricing small small!

We had a great night at Cadence. The food was fantastic, from the Ahi tuna to the shrimp risotto. Service was super friendly and attentive. We definitely love the vibe, which is rich and comfortable. We will be back soon!

I recently hosted a bridal shower at Cadence. I highly recommend hosting a special event here. The service and food were excellent. Most importantly for us, the ambiance is amazing. Their coordinator, Abby, was terrific. She was very responsive and most accommodating. We will definitely be back.

Lots of outdoor seating! I really liked the corn risotto the portion size was great. The braised short rib also looks amazing! I tried a bite of my friends chop chicken salad and the large was humongous. I like that it comes in two sizes. It was delicious. My other friend got the goat cheese salad and felt that it needed more goat cheese, it was all very small crumbles. I tried the cheddar polenta and that was delicious as well and a nice size. Service was friendly! It was my friends birthday and they went above and beyond!

Modern lunch spot that looks to be fun at night with casual DJ's, wine Wednesdays and outdoor seating. Friday lunch was laid back, and delicious. The menu overall is simple, with diverse gastropub type offerings. The interior space is beautiful when it is too cold to dine on their patio. Short Rib Mac n Cheese - great flavor. The $7 side portion was perfect for the two of us, as we shared all these dishes. Truffle fries - the garlic aioli stole the show French onion soup - too salty and strong tasking for me, but my wife enjoyed it Poached Shrimp cobb salad - nice big portion Everything was thoughtfully served to us, the waiter knew we were sharing everything and gave us salad serving spoons and defaulted to the small side portion mac n cheese without us specifying, which worked out perfect because the large $18 bowl would have been way too much. Next Friday we plan to try their sister restaurant, located around the corner, the Foxtail.

Entire restaurant is top notch! Food was Excellent and the Bar is well stocked with your favorite beverages! The entire staff was great. But a special shout out to MARY for Taking care of us!

Beautiful patio, good service and very good food. We shared several appetizers including the grilled octopus, salad and short rib empanadas.

I've been here a few times with my first time being outdoors when indoor dining was closed due to the pandemic. The food is delicious and the menu is unique. They had pork pillows which were essentially pork rinds/chicharrones and were so good! The crab beignets were another favorite! The interior is beautifully decorated and very cozy. It's such a great spot in downtown Downers Grove since it's by the train and walking distance to other shops and parking. The menu changes every so often but you can't go wrong with anything you pick out!

Firstly, I love that they are adding new cool spots in the heart of Downtown DG, love seeing this town build up with amazing new restaurants. Came here on a girl's get together after a long year of not seeing people. It was nice seeing friends in a cool nee spot. The staff made us feel welcome, they were wearing masks and following COVID-19 guidelines. However, we were a group of 8 people, they were going to sit us on a table that fits maybe 5 comfortably. Not sure what they were thinking after a year of social distancing, you'd expect them to accommodate social distancing so their customers feel comfortable. Also, i would like to add, with or without COVID, I like to enjoy my dinner without touching my friends or bump into each other's arms. We requested a bigger table so we are not all in each other's faces, that is why I gave it 4 stars instead. The food was great, although not many options to choose from, I ended up getting a Chicken sandwich and I'm usually not that boring when I eat. I like trying new things. Definitely check it out, you might like the menu more than me, but the drinks were outstanding, great spot to meet up with friends as well!

Former employee and now frequent guest. The food here is better than ever and the chefs and cooks put so much thought and care into every dish, except for Jeff (he cares is constantly learning how to push the envelope in the confines of casual/fine American dining and he's too nice to the vegan customers who, if they call ahead, can get a brilliantly customized meal). The servers are alright except for Joe R (he's too knowledgeable and kind and I'm jealous of him). Some of the more innovative dishes in Chicagoland, nice place to work and it's great that they care about the community. Also, Rob's drinks are too good and he needs to stop being so charismatic and patient. Kisses (xoxo), Graham "Loopy Goose" N

Food was great, honestly should've ordered more but the service was somewhat slow, then again it was during their most busy time so I was okay with it, and honestly was very surprised with the interior, clean and well kept

Service and drinks 5/5 Food 2/5 my table ordered a variety of items and was overall let down. This was my second time at this restaurant and will not be back for the food. The dishes sound great but lack in execution. The octopus appetizer was chewy, the honey ricotta dish was gritty, the pork belly dish not rendered properly. We ordered chop salad and the cob salad- sadly I've had better salads at Panera. The shepherds pie was good but a very hard thing to mess up and really not a very exciting dish. Fries were good. Flourless cake tasted like store bought frosting.

Drinks were not tasty and overpriced. Food was average and overpriced. I would not return.

Great food and service! Cocktails were good as well. Would return. Had the autumn salad and Strawberry Fields drink.

from the moment we walked in the front door, just am amazing place. our first time here. the staff was impeccable. The menu had just enough for great selections. we had the lump crab beignets for an app. I don't eat seafood and they were delicious. The main dish we chose was the short rib ragu. homemade pasta was to die for. and the dessert!!! they employ a pastry chef! what a treat! not to mention the hand crafted libations. This establishment was a winner from start to finish. thank you Cadence for the amazing experience. loved the decor as well. top notch. if I could give 6 stars, I would.
