This is a small neighborhood establishment. The tables are small and close but still private. When filled, the noise level is high - mostly because everyone is enjoying themselves. The food was exquisite, far beyond my expectations, without any pretention. Kudos to the chef. He was able to accommodate my food allergies without me noticing a plate with gaps where something else would have been. My only question is why haven't I been here before? It most certainly won't be long before I am back. A real gem.

First time enjoying this charming and stylish spot and will not be my last! The decor is beautiful, the staff lovely and attentive and the food was terrific. The only disappointment - very slight! - was that they had a limited lunch menu the day we visited so the farro salad I was looking forward to was unavailable. However, the items I shared with my friend were excellent so it worked out beautifully. Highly recommend!
