Speaking of meals, dining here is less about ticking off dishes and more about savoring an experience shaped by seasonal ingredients and subtle creativity.

It’s a place where celebrations aren’t hurried, and conversations can flourish in the company of great food and genuine, heartfelt service.

My husband and I had such a great dining experience last night. The appetizers were amazing. The halibut was delicious and my husband loved the tuna special. We thoroughly enjoyed the staff and wish I had been able to try the pear flambé but I was just too full. Looks like we need to come back next Saturday! I’ve already made our reservation for when our daughter returns for November break-she’ll be thrilled!

My family enjoyed such a lovely Thanksgiving meal at Scarlet Knife. The food was wonderful and the service outstanding. It's great when we can hear each other, feel relaxed not rushed and just enjoy ourselves. Bravo!

Amazing experience we went in the evening on valentines tonight. And it was great! It slowly started filling up so I suggest reservations ahead of time on busy nights. The steak and sea bass were delicious!!! Well cooked and seasoned! The cocktails were incredible as well. The vibe and energy was great and vibrant. The staff were really nice and attentive. Albeit busy because it was a holiday. Overall we would definitely come back!

I am surprised this place isn’t swarmed with customers! Let’s start off with the service, 1000/10. I was greeted upon entry by Grace P. She’s so sweet and also was our waitress. If I had to put a face to hospitality, it would be her. Food, 1000/10. Paige was our chef and she even came and brought out our food. There is so much good things I can say but I’ll make it short by saying I will be returning here. My toddler’s French toast : 10/10 SK Eggs Benedict 10/10 My husband’s brunch burger 10/10 I recommend this place for brunch.

Outstanding dining experience! The food was absolutely exceptional—every dish, from the appetizer to dessert, was prepared with incredible skill and the finest fresh local ingredients. Our server was attentive and genuinely welcoming, making us feel completely taken care of. The atmosphere was perfect—elegant, comfortable, and added beautifully to the overall enjoyment of the meal. I highly recommend this spot for any occasion and can't wait to return.

I hosted an anniversary party here and had such a good experience I had to leave a review! I honestly never thought SK would fit into our budget and was so happy to find out it did. It’s a beautiful private room in a great location for my family. Deborah does their events and made the whole process easy with good communication and flexibility. The day of, staff went above and beyond in every way possible, from helping us decorate, piping our play list into the speakers to always being close by when the people needed something. Our family and friends enjoyed the food and delicious cocktails. Everyone raved about how nice the party was. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to host an event.

I'm writing this review on behalf of my aunt and uncle who recently celebrated their 75th birthdays at Scarlet Knife. Scarlett knife really puts on a wonderful party. We had their passed appetizers and cocktail party. In the gallery room. The food was unbelievably delicious. The servers were extremely attentive. The banquet coordinator Deborah Dimm was there the whole time making sure everything went perfectly. We were so pleased with how it came out. Everybody enjoyed all the food . Lobster arancini, bacon wrapped fillet tips, stuffed mushrooms, charcuterie, and cheese, and a slider station with petite fillet just to name a few And the desserts oh my goodness they were to die for

Went there for brunch. The menu had just about anything you'd want. Sweet, traditional, and savory options. All items had unique twists on them and were presented nicely. They have a incredible wine selection and a room dedicated just for desserts. They are fairly pricey but not unfairly so. The quality definitely reflects the price. The staff was nice and responsive. I'm definitely coming back!
