    Hidden gem that is very deserving of their many 5-star reviews! Definitely gotta come back many times before it gets too popular. We completely cleaned every dish and the The lamb chops were the best we’ve ever.

    We enjoyed our night here found this place cozy and down to earth but with also some flare. We found the owner more passionate and engaging when discussing the menu and dishes. We found the rack of lamb extremely successful, cooked to perfection, juicy with a nice crust, and the parsnip puree was lovely. The lobster & scallops over a crispy rice and bisque pour was elegantly presented like a painting, I appreciated the creativity of the dish, although the scallops were overcooked. They also had a few options for desserts but alas we will need to come back with more space in our tummies next time for that.

    My husband and I had our post wedding celebration held at Wild Chicory. Tony (owner) was amazing to work with throughout the planning process, was incredibly accommodating and worked with us along the process. Beautiful space for a group of 45 people with good food, service, and drinks Thanks again !
