    The ambiance was cozy and friendly; we started with the escargot and French onion soup, which were better than most; we had the duck confit and trout, both of which were cooked to perfection; the cocktails were delicious; the wine menu had many price points; the crème brûlée was served perfect temperature and was so good! We will return as our experience was superb!

    Our family group of four ate here for the first time while celebrating my mother's 91st birthday. The food and service were superb. Our dinner choices included Pelato Salad, Panelle, Radiatori Vodka, Chicken Parmigiana, Creamy Spinach, Polenta Bolognese, Roasted Mushrooms and Chicken Saltimbocca. My wife requires gluten-free options and the menu was very clear about that, although it was easy to lose track of those choices after the dishes arrived. Our server, Cayli, was outstanding in every way. She manages to be both friendly and effective - a real professional. Both the manager and owner visited our table; a nice touch. Highly recommended.
