    Wonderful service, beautiful decor, very quiet and well-chosen background music. The first courses were wonderful - - the beat salad and the little squares that were made of potato -- they were really delicious. But the Alaskan char was a little odd..... it didn't taste completely fresh, and the dish was not interesting, just the fish and some ornaments on top. I don't mean to complain, but hope this feedback is helpful. Very nice to have this restaurant in the neighborhood. Hope 2025 brings good things and good customers.
